Set of Prehistoric Predator Fish Fangs, Fossils Display

[ translate ]

Set of 4 prehistoric predator fish ( Endochus ) fangs, teeth display fossils. 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" each. Comes in 3 1/2" X 9" museum display case. Enchodus is an extinct genus of Actinopterygii-ray-finned fish. It flourished during the Upper Cretaceous, surviving the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event and persisted at least into the Eocene. Enchodus species were 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.
