Fossil Fish Jaw
FOMISC-X8
This incredible piece has a beautifully preserved jaw section with teeth from the Enchodus in the original matrix. This is a very rare piece in that most of these smaller teeth and bones did not fossilise well and were scattered. This is a very nice addition to any true fossil lovers collection. Enchodus is an extinct genus of bony fish. It 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. A Certificate of Authenticity is included., Enchodus bursauxi species, Approx 25cm x 15cm.
Late Cretaceous period approx 96 to 65 million years old, from Ouled Abdoun Basin, Oued Zem, Morocco.
