[edit] Ehm...
Why does this page exist? Mosasaurus should redirect to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosasaur
Either that, or "mosasaur" should be changed to the cprrect "mosasaurus".

- That's because Mosasaurus was the first genus of mosasaur discovered, much like the way all scarab beetles are named after Scarabeus beetles.
-
- Mosasaurus has its own page for the same reason that each genus of mosasaur will eventually have their own pages, same as each genus of dinosaur. Mosasaurus is a distinct type of mosasaur, not a synonym for "mosasaur."--Nar'eth 02:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

- I think the merger tag can be removed now; Nar'eth is right. Jerkov 18:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
