Enchodus Vertebra small - Original Fossil from the Cretaceous Period

Vertebra of a Prehistoric Predator – 70 Million Years Old

This original Enchodus vertebra comes from one of the most fascinating predatory fish of the Cretaceous period. The Enchodus – also known as the "saber-toothed herring" – was a feared hunter of the primeval seas, despite its relatively small size. With its characteristically long, needle-sharp fangs, it hunted approximately 70–95 million years ago in the shallow epicontinental seas that once covered large parts of North Africa, Europe, and North America.
