Mosasaurus marine reptile
Mosasaurus. Artwork of a Mosasaurus marine lizard swimming underwater. This large carnivorous lizard was around 9 metres in length. Its anatomy was similar to present day monitor lizards, and it is considered a close relative. It inhabited the seas of the late Cretaceous period, from 100-65 million years ago. It would have fed on fish, but probably also hunted smaller marine reptiles. It used its tail for propulsion, steering with its limbs

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the awe-inspiring Mosasaurus marine reptile, a formidable creature that once roamed the ancient seas during the late Cretaceous period. With its massive size of around 9 meters in length, this carnivorous lizard was a true predator of the ocean depths. The artwork beautifully captures the Mosasaurus swimming gracefully underwater, its sleek body and powerful tail propelling it through the water with ease. Resembling present-day monitor lizards in anatomy, this ancient reptile is considered a close relative to these modern creatures. With sharp teeth perfectly adapted for hunting, it is believed that the Mosasaurus primarily fed on fish but also had an appetite for smaller marine reptiles. Its open mouth in this illustration suggests it may have been chasing after its next meal with great determination. As we delve into paleontology and explore Earth's prehistoric past, images like this one allow us to envision these magnificent creatures as they once were. The extinct Mosasaurus serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history and how life has evolved over millions of years. This remarkable print by Science Photo Library not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also ignites our curiosity about these fascinating creatures that ruled our oceans long before humans walked on land.
