The Western Interior Seaway, which split the entire continent of North America in half, once teemed with predatory creatures -- fanged fish and turtles the size of small cars, prowling sharks and giant squid; hungry plesiosaurs and immense crocodiles. At the top of this prehistoric food chain, stretching up to nearly 15 meters (50 feet) and weighing a hefty 50,000 kilograms (50 tons), ruled the mighty mosasaur, the T. Rex of the sea."-- ER -
