英文摘要	Mosasauroid squamates were abundant and had a worldwide distribution during the Late Cretaceous, but records fromSub-Saharan Africa are comparatively scanty and based mainly on fragmentary and isolated material. Here new mosasaur remains from the Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) of Dakhla Oasis in the South-Western Desert of Egypt are recorded, including: a small, fragmentary right dentary of an indeterminate mosasaurine with a single tooth preserved in situ and an isolated tooth crown of the genus Globidens. This material stems from fossiliferous, calcareous sandstones with intercalated shales that form the lower portion of the Dakhla Formation, known to be an intertidal to subtidal deposit. Previously recorded mosasaur remains from the Eastern Desert in Egypt included Globidens phosphaticus, Platecarpus sp., and Igdamanosaurus aegyptiacus. In Africa, mosasaurs of the Maastrichtian age have been recorded from Morocco, Nigeria, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Niger. The newly collected material from Dakhla Oasis currently constitutes the youngest record of mosasaurs in Egypt. (C) 2021 The Geologists' Association. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
