Tylosaurus proriger grew more than 45 feet long, making it the largest of the marine reptiles called mosasaurs. Like all mosasaurs, a long and muscular, vertically flattened tail powered Tylosaurus through the water, allowing it to ambush its prey with rapid bursts of acceleration. Paddle-like limbs helped steer the slim body covered in lizard-like scales through the water.

	Fossil Pterosaur from Solnhofen, Germany AUTHENTIC - EXTREMELY RARE! *Ctenochasma gracile* 150 Million years ago, Jurassic Solnhofen formation, Germany
This incredibly preserved pterosaur is one of the rarest species of flying reptiles ever discovered, Ctenochasma gracile. A medium-large pterosaur, *Ctenochasma gracile* was equipped with a round, elongated snout, a smaller head, very long flying arms, and extremely powerful hind legs. Scientists believe that features such as these enabled this pterosaur to feed on small creatures that it probably captured from the water by flying low over the surface and scooping them up into it's trap-like mouth. Found at the Solnhofen quarry, the same quarry where *Archaeopteryx* was discovered, this extremely rare pterosaur is naturally surrounded by the incredibly beautiful manganese and iron oxide dendrite formations for which Solnhofen is also noted. This pterosaur has been professionally etched around the perimeter to add contrast and aid in the visibility of the amazing details of this magnificent specimen.
Rare Fossil Bear-Dog
Fossil Bear-Dog Femur Amphicyon longuramus Miocene Dixie County, Florida Femur measures 14 3/4", Full Display is 17 1/8" $599.
		Fossil Bear-Dog Molar *Cynelos caroniavorus* Miocene Dixie County, Florida Molar measures 1 3/8" x 15/16 ' $250.
Bear-dogs or amphicyonids ranged from small and dog-like to very large and more like bears. In fact they were neither bears nor dogs, but a group of their own related to both. Fossilized footprints of the larger species show that they walked very much like modern bears, with their feet flat on the ground. They also lived in underground dens, and could probably burrow for prey if it outran them.
