EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the immense skull of a Mososaurus, discovered at Fort St Peter near Maastricht, Netherlands in 1780. The size of the jaw alone, measuring an impressive 1.142 meters, indicated that this ancient creature must have been a staggering 7.315 meters long. This engraving from George Cuvier's "The Animal Kingdom" (1830) provides a detailed look at this remarkable find.
The intricate details of the engraving showcase the sheer magnitude and power of this prehistoric predator. The sharp teeth and massive skull are a testament to the ferocity with which it once ruled the seas.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when creatures like the Mososaurus roamed our planet. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity and complexity of life on Earth throughout history.
