EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Majestic Mosasaur - Platycarpus ictericus" 2. Subtitle: "An 83-81 Million Year Old Giant Marine Reptile from the Late Cretaceous of Kansas, USA" 3. Description: This image showcases the fossilized remains of a Mosasaur, specifically the species Platycarpus ictericus. This ancient marine reptile hails from the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 83-81 million years ago, and was discovered in the rich fossil beds of Kansas, USA. Mosasaurs were a diverse group of large, powerful, and agile marine reptiles, characterized by their long, robust bodies, powerful limbs, and elongated, serpentine tails. Platycarpus ictericus, a member of the Mosasauridae family, was one of the smaller species, measuring up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) in length. The Mosasaur's fossilized remains provide valuable insights into the marine ecosystems of the Late Cretaceous period. With its powerful jaws filled with sharp teeth, this reptile was a formidable predator, capable of hunting and capturing a wide range of prey, including fish, squid, and even other marine reptiles. Platycarpus ictericus is a testament to the incredible diversity of life that once thrived in our planet's oceans. Its discovery has expanded our understanding of the Mesozoic Era, a time when reptiles ruled the Earth and dominated various ecosystems, including the marine realm. This print offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of the ancient world and the creatures that once inhabited it.
