If you look at the video you can see her arm reach up on the right side of the jaws, placing her about three quarters the way to the end of its mouth--Mosa's jaws were four feet long, but for the film they may have been exaggerated to six--either way she was  under the back razor sharp teeth, probably just her legs that would have been cut by them, and at least some of her was chomped by them when it snapped its jaws down--plus, she would have had her head under the Pteranodon and would have had that crushing pressure inflicted, and instant death by blunt head trauma. If you still believe she was alive after the jaws snapped, it doesn't matter--Mosa's back teeth are double-jointed and chop and grind anything in it's mouth before ratcheting it down its throat. Poor Zara was inside of a prehistoric grinding machine, and this was ironically the only luck she had as her torture definately came to an end thanks to Mr. Mosa. RESEARCH--Mega Beasts-T Rex of the Deep WANT MORE ZARA? www.facebook.com/groups/zaralives/ I don't know where you're getting your info about the mosasaurus throat size but there is no way it has a small throat.

A mosasaurus is not a baleen whale that eats krill it eats its prey whole or in supersized chunks and could swallow a fish longer than its head http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/09/15/a-mosasaurs-last-meal/
