It feels kinda weird that the biggest lizards of all time were the mosasaurs. Unlike most reptiles, the suffix -saurus meaning lizard is actually accurate for mosasaurs. They were true lizards, most closely related to monitor lizards and snakes.

True! It literally parted North America to make room for its people.

Some Mosasaurs would even attack any dinosaur that was unfortunate enough to wander too far from the shore. So not even tyrannosaurus was safe.

Here's a thought - you know in nature documentaries where giant schools of fish are picked apart one by one by other fish, seals, dolphins, sharks, sea birds and so on?

These fish bombarded on all sides by sharks, plesiosaurs, Xiphactinus, Hesperornis and pterosaurs, before a giant mosasaur comes in to finish off the rest.
