SAFARI LTD Dunkleosteus Figure

Dunkleosteus was a huge (about 20 feet long and about one ton in weight) carnivorous fish that lived during the Devonian Period (380-360 million years ago throughout the world’s oceans of the time. With its large jaws and massive tooth plates, it would have been a top predator in its habitat. Features: - Features: Dunkleosteus belonged to a group of extinct primitive fish called placoderms. Unlike all living fish, the head and front half of the body of placoderms are covered in massive bony shields. They did not have teeth, but rather huge bony plates in their jaws with sharp shearing surfaces that worked like giant scissors. Dunkleosteus used its powerful jaws and tooth plates to cut through the largest prey, and would have occupied the same position in the ecosystem that large sharks do today. - The Dunkleosteus is part of the Wild Safari® Prehistoric World collection - All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free Specifications: - Dimensions in cm:18.5 L x 8.5 H - Dimensions in inches:7.28 L x 3.35 H
