Monster-sized cranial elements, including the premaxillary and partial maxillary with teeth, from a very large Xiphactinus, the largest bony fish to roam the ancient seas. Complete specimen measures 9" x 6". Premaxillary is 4 1/2" long and premax tooth is 1 3/4" long, with very distinct wear pattern. Two teeth are in maxillary. All bones are embedded in their original chalk matrix, as discovered. Excellent detail!
