Kristianstadsbækkenet

Rester af mosasaurus, kendt bl.a. fra filmen Jurassic World (2015) er fundet i Christianstadsbækkenet.[1]

Kristianstadsbækkenet[2] eller -basinet[3] (svensk Kristianstadsbäckenet)[4] er en geologisk formation centreret omkring Kristianstad[3] og omegn i det nordøstlige Skåne. I Kridttiden var området et varmt og lavt hav, som det, der delte Nordamerika i to dengang[5], hvor der er fundet rester af dinosaurer, mosasaurer, plesiosaurer (bl.a. Scanisaurus, "Skåne-øglen"), hajer og mere.[6]

I kaolinbruddetIvøen, startet af den danske dyrlæge William Abelgaard Nielsen i 1800'erne, Iføværkernes grundlægger,[7] er der fundet aftryk og rester af dinosaurer fra Christianstadsbækkenet.[8][9]

Size comparison of the mosasaurin mosasaurine mosasaurid mosasauroid Mosasaurus. Mosasaurus hoffmannii is the largest species of this genus. The specimen catalogued as CCMGE 10/2469 (also known as the "Penza specimen") is among the largest known specimens of this species, with an estimated length of around 1.7 m (5.6 ft). Skull length to total body length estimates for this species vary, with Russell (1967) providing a ratio of 1:10, while Fanti et. al. (2014) thought that it was closer to 1:7. Published material pertaining to M. beaugei is rather fragmentary, its postcranium was here restored following skeletal mounts, photos of unpublished specimens, and M. hoffmannii. It was estimated to have a total length (TL) of 8–10 m (26–33 ft) by Bardet. The other two depicted species, M. lemonnieri and M. missouriensis, are known from much more coplete remains, allowing their proportions to be drawn out much more confidently. The smaller individual of M. lemonnieri is the holotype specimen, IRSNB R 28; the larger one is IRSNB 3189. M. missouriensis is here scaled to the 1.11 m (3.6 ft)-long skull of KUVP 1034. The diver silhoutte is from File:Scuba33.jpg, which is by NOAA and in the public domain.
