OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yaguarasaurus was a genus of mosasaur from the Late Cretaceous (Turonian) period of Colombia, South America. The remains discovered (a skull articulated, some vertebrae and ribs) were defined as a new genus and species of the tribe Plioplatecarpini, Yaguarasaurus columbianus, by the Colombian paleontologist Maria Paramo, former director of the Museo de Geologia Jose Royo y Gomez of INGEOMINAS in Bogota. The remains were found in a limestone bench (Upper Turonian) of the Villeta Formation near Yaguara, in the site called Cueva Rica (Huila). Its name means Yaguara lizard of Colombia , and measured about 5 meters long, with a cranial length of 47 cm. Yaguarasaurus were a close relative of Russellosaurus coheni and Tethysaurus nopscai, a group that could be a basal clade to the division between Tylosaurinae and Plioplatecarpinae subfamilies, called Russellosaurina.
