2.6" Enchodus Jaw Section - Cretaceous Fanged Fish
This
is a 3.4" long jaw section from the extinct bony fish Enchodus. Enchodus flourished during the Upper Cretaceous and was small to medium in size. One of the genus' most notable attributes are the large "fangs" at the front of the upper and lower jaws and on the palatine bones, leading to its misleading nickname among fossil hunters and paleoichthyologists, "the saber-toothed herring". These fangs, along with a long sleek body and large eyes, suggest Enchodus was a predatory species. This section has 6 mostly complete teeth, the longest .75" long. It comes with an acrylic display stand.
