		Tylosaurus had a round bump on the top of its snout, bony plates on its head for protection, and scales covering its entire body.
		Tylosaurus fossils have large muscle attachment marks, so some scientists think it could swim far, perhaps scaring its prey into shallow water and then attacking, as killer whales do.
		Tylosaurus may instead have lurked in murky water, as many smaller mosasaurs did, lying in wait for prey to wander close by and then lifting its head to snap it up.

		Tylosaurus nepueolicus (Cope 1874) is one of the least well known of the five species of mosasaurs that are recognized from the lower Smoky Hill Chalk Member (upper Coniacian) of the Niobrara Formation in western Kansas.
		In describing the type material, Cope stated that this species was one-third or less the size of T. proriger (Cope 1869), a species that appeared during the Santonian and is well represented in the middle and upper chalk.

		As in Tylosaurus, the chevrons are not fused to the centra.
		Despite the overall skull shape, Plesiotylosaurus is not closely related to Tylosaurus, and researchers traditionally classify the genus in the subfamily Plioplatecarpine close to Prognathodon; however, Bell (1997) classifies Plesiotylosaurus as a close relative of Globidens in the Mosasaurinae.
		Tylosaurus is a very large, highly predatory mosasaur known from a number of complete skeletons and skulls, though the holotype skull from the Museum of Comparative Zoology appears to be lost.

	RE: paleonet Mosasaurs ate plesiosaurs
		Although the remains of a juvenile polycotylid plesiosaur as stomach contents of a large mosasaur (Tylosaurus) were first discovered by Charles Sternberg in 1918, his brief report did not receive much attention at the time, and the association went unnoticed.
		The juvenile polycotylid was certainly a large item to swallow, but well within the capabilities of a large Tylosaurus with its powerful bite and flexible (snakelike) skull and lower jaws.
		Although plesiosaurs had not been previously documented in the diet of mosasaurs, they should not be unexpected since Tylosaurus, in particular, is known to have consumed large fish, birds and other mosasaurs.

		The find is a well-preserved partial skeleton of a large, 32 to 36 foot (10 to 11 meter) long, Tylosaurus.
		The find was significant in that it is the westernmost record of a Tylosaurus in the Western Interior seaway and that it was found high in the Pierre Shale geological formation suggesting an age of late Campanian.
		The Pierre Shale formation is known to hold abundant fossils and has been the location of two previous Mosasaur records in the Trinidad area.
