Anatomy and functional morphology of the largest marine reptile known, Mosasaurus hoffmanni (Mosasauridae, Reptilia) from the Upper Cretaceous, Upper Maastrichtian of The Netherlands
TLDR
The skull is robustly constructed and is the least kinetic in the Mosasauridae and, with a tightly assembled palatal complex, provided greater cranial stability in this large-headed mosasaur.

The Tylosaurine Mosasaurs (Reptilia, Mosasauridae) from the upper Cretaceous of Europe and Africa
The Mosasaur Prognathodon (Reptilia, Mosasauridae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Belgium
The Mosasaur Plioplatecarpus (Reptilia, Mosasauridae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Europe
The mosasaur “Angolasaums”bocagei (Reptilia: Mosasauridae) from the Turonian of Angola re-interpreted as the earliest member of the genusPlatecarpus
TLDR
Remains of a mosasaur from the Upper Cretaceous, Upper Turonian beds of Angola were identified as a new genus “Angolasaurus” and placed within the subfamily Mosasaurinae and the cladogram indicates a phylogeny for the genusPlatecarpus and relationships withPrognatbodon, Plioplatecarpu andHalisaurus.
