Note that the "early photograph" of a Tylosaurus skull (above) was taken by George F. Sternberg about 1926 after he collected and prepared the specimen. It was discovered in the Smoky Hill Chalk of Logan County, Kansas. Sternberg offered the specimen to the Smithsonian and included this photograph in his letter to Charles Gilmore. Copies of the original photos are in the archives of the Sternberg Museum of Natural History (FHSM). The specimen is FHSM VP-3, the exhibit specimen in the same museum.

  • The Giant Mosasaur is a prehistoric animal in Sea Monsters. Though that was not revealed in the show, its real name is Tylosaurus.
  • Tylosaurus was a mosasaur. It was 75 ft long!
  • Tylosaurus was a huge mosasaur the largest one. Facts * 39 ft12m or more * 4 tons 8,000 lbs or more * 3 ton 6000 psi or more
  • The Tylosaurus is one of the largest species of mosasaur, a large aquatic reptile related to modern day monitor lizards and snakes. An oversized tylosaur appears in the 2008 movie Turok: Son of Stone, where the creature eats a Plesiosaurus.
  • In Carnivores Cityscape, the Tylosaurus can be found swimming around in rivers and sewers. If they cannot travel well out of water, it is unknown how they got into the sewers from the rivers, or even out of the ship. Strangely, it is not deadly which is not in line with the actual animal. Since it is basically the prehistoric equivalent of a great white shark or a killer whale, it would be expected to lunge at agents and passing dinosaurs from under the water, although since it has been extinct for millions of years this cannot be known for sure.
  • Tylosaurus featured in Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, and in Chased by Sea Monsters!
  • The Tylosaurus is a large species of Mosasaur from the Western Interior Sea of North America during the Late Cretaceous Period that appeared in the film Fantasia.
  • Tylosaurus (knob lizard) was a genus of mosasaur from the Cretaceous period.

  • Mosasaurs were serpentine marine lizards and ferocious predators. Mosasaurs were not dinosaurs but evolved from semi-aquatic squamates known as the "aigialosaurs", close relatives of modern-day monitor lizards. Mosasaurs breathed air and were powerful swimmers that were well-adapted to living in the warm, shallow epicontinental seas prevalent during the Late Cretaceous Period. They grow up to 17 meters long but the longest ever recorded was 17.5 meters longA fully grown mosasaur attacks a swimming pool lifeguard and kills him. It then returned through the Anomaly that brought it their when the clorine in the water began irritating its skin. It then appeared at a reservoir in west London and regurgitates a bolus of the undigested remains of the lifeguard. Connor and Abby who had waded out i
  • Tylosaurus grew more than 45 feet (14 meters) 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.
  • Tylosaurus is a Mosasaur native to the late Cretaceous period. Connor Temple included the Tylosaurus in his database of prehistoric creatures. (Episode 1.1) Tylosaurus existed in the Western Interior Seaway. Preserved stomach contents indicate a diet heavy on fish, but seabirds, sharks, plesiosaurs, and other mosasaurs also failed to escape Tylosaurus's lethal grip. Though not a dinosaur, Tylosaurus lived alongside them and went extinct at around the same time. Many Tylosaurus remains have been found in Kansas, which was once covered by a large ocean called the Western Interior Seaway.
