4.3" Fossil Mosasaur (Clidastes) Scapula Bone - Texas

Clidastes is an extinct aquatic lizard belonging to the mosasaur family. Clidastes was one of the smaller types of mosasaurs. Although some species were larger, the average length of this genus is only a few meters, or about 10 feet in length. This mosasaur was also slimmer than the others with a narrower ribcage, giving it a more sleek or eel-like look. It was probably very agile and able to chase down smaller prey.
