Snake jaw evolution
Snake jaw evolution. Computer illustration of a snake and its ancestor, a mosasaur, showing their related dentition and jaw structure. Both animals lower jaws are seen to be made up of two bones, the foremost bearing teeth. These were linked only by elastic ligaments to the rear jawbones, allowing the animals to open their mouths wide to accommodate large prey. Other similarities include the palatine teeth in two rows between the main set of teeth in the upper jaw. These are used for holding prey tightly. Mosasaurs were marine carnivores which inhabited seas throughout the world between 145 and 65 million years ago.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating evolution of snake jaws. Through a computer illustration, we are transported back in time to witness the connection between a modern snake and its ancestor, the mighty mosasaur. The image vividly depicts their related dentition and jaw structure. Both creatures possess lower jaws composed of two bones, with the foremost bone bearing teeth. These bones were connected by elastic ligaments to the rear jawbones, enabling these ancient predators to open their mouths wide enough to accommodate large prey. Another intriguing similarity lies in the presence of palatine teeth in two rows between the main set of upper jaw teeth. These specialized teeth served as powerful tools for tightly gripping their victims. Mosasaurs once ruled marine ecosystems worldwide approximately 145 to 65 million years ago as formidable carnivores. This artwork not only highlights an extraordinary evolutionary link but also offers insight into how snakes have adapted over time. The intricate details captured within this print invite us to marvel at nature's ingenuity and appreciate our reptilian counterparts' remarkable journey through millions of years. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded that every tooth tells a story—a testament to life's continuous transformation and adaptation on Earth's ever-changing stage.
