- Mosasaur teeth. The Mosasaurus lived about 270 million years ago and was a lizard. They were huge. This is clearly visible in the teeth that we sell here. There are many questions about the Mosasaurus, whether or not they were a reptile. Most fossil finds were in coastal waters but also in freshwater lakes. It seems that the animal was suitable for various aquatic environments.
