As windows into the deep history of neuroanatomy, endocasts may provide information about the central nervous system of fossil taxa. Based on exceptionally preserved specimens of coeval mosasauroids (Squamata) and plesiosaurians (Sauropterygia), from the Turonian outcrops of Goulmima (Southern Morocco), the aim of this work was to describe for the first time in detail the endocranial anatomy of these two major clades of Mesozoic marine reptiles to provide insights about their sensory abilities, and thus to understand their cohabitation, interactions and niche partitioning. The endocranial anatomy of related extant squamates, mainly snakes but also varanids and amphisbaenians, also almost unknown until now, has been performed for the first t...
