Another nice Tylosaurus reconstruction, simple but effective.

And a really stunning painting of Mosasaurus hoffmani.

Finally the skeletal reconstruction of Platecarpus tympaniticus which was important in our of re-visualisation of these animals.

And the nice wikipedia article on this streamlined killer.

As far as the mass of the largest Mosasaurs goes - depending on their build (there was an enormous variety of these animals) - anything between 10 - 20 tons seems plausible to me.
