Onion Creek Mosasaur | Exhibits | Texas Natural Science Center Near the end of the Cretaceous Period, 89-65 million years ago, huge relatives of lizards and snakes swam the shallow sea that covered 40% of present-day North America. These were mosasaurs (MOSE-uh-sawrs), marine reptiles that were the top predators in their ancient environment. They preyed on fish, ammonites, and even other marine reptiles! Mosasaurs have been extinct for about 65 million years, but their fossilized bones and teeth have been found in many parts of Texas.
