Welcome from Georgia, USA.

 

Is that a Mosasaurus hoffmanni?  They have been found in the Cretaceous chalks near Maastricht, though I don't know if any have been so complete.

Welcome to the Fossil Forum from the Hudson Valley, NY USA. Would have loved to see that mosasaur in person.

Happiest mosasaur to ever live. He is still giddy to this day. Thanks for the pic, and welcome to the forum!

Looks like it could use a light dusting.

I'd really hate to be on the receiving end of those jaws. Mommy!!!!

Welcome to the forum. That seems to be a friendly Mosasaur.
