Nuclidens
Nuclidens is a genus of extinct marine reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 99 to 94 million years ago. The genus is known from several well-preserved fossils found in Europe, particularly in Germany and France. Nuclidens is characterized by its elongated, snake-like body, which is typical of mosasaurs, a group of marine lizards. The most distinctive feature of Nuclidens is its unique skull structure, which includes a large, toothless rostrum (snout) and a series of small, sharp teeth located behind the rostrum.
The genus Nuclidens includes several species, with the most well-known being Nuclidens dongusensis, which was named
