Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. A. Russell 1967"The osteology of Globidens remains very incompletely known. It appears to have descended from a Clidastes-like ancestor, but because of the highly peculiar nature of its spherical teeth and massive jaws it is separated from the Mosasaurini into a distinct tribe."
