Tylosaurus

''Tylosaurus'' (Greek ''τυλος''/''tylos'' "protuberance, knob" + Greek ''σαυρος''/''sauros'' "lizard") was a mosasaur, a large, predatory marine lizard closely related to modern monitor lizards and to snakes.
== Description ==

Along with plesiosaurs, sharks, fish, and other genera of mosasaurs, it was a dominant predator of the Western Interior Seaway during the Late Cretaceous. ''Tylosaurus proriger'' was among the largest of all the mosasaurs (along with ''Hainosaurus'' and ''Mosasaurus hoffmannii''), reaching maximum lengths of . A distinguishing characteristic of ''Tylosaurus'' is its elongated, cylindrical premaxilla (snout) from which it takes its name and which may have been used to ram and stun prey and also in intraspecific combat.
Early restorations showing ''Tylosaurus'' with a dorsal crest were based on misidentified tracheal cartilage, but when the error was discovered, depicting mosasaurs with such crests was already a trend
