Meet 'the ocean version of T. rex'—apex predator Tylosaurus rex, ruler of Cretaceous seas. I spoke to paleontologist @tyrantlzrdqueen.bsky.social for @cnn.com about how she noticed something unusual about Texas fossils assigned to a known mosasaur & ended up describing a new species 🧪 #FossilFriday

There’s a newly crowned T. rex. This one, called Tylosaurus rex, was a tyrant of the sea and mosasaur spanning up to 43 feet in length.
