An extinct marine reptile from the Cretaceous period, a type of mosasaur that lived in shallow coastal waters.
From Greek 'aigialos' (beach, shore) and 'sauros' (lizard), literally meaning 'shore lizard.' Named to reflect its coastal marine habitat.
These creatures were apex predators in ancient beaches—imagine surfing in the Cretaceous and spotting a 20-foot lizard with teeth like daggers in the water beside you.
