HUGE fish skull (profile) and postcranial bones from an extinct predatory fish, on matrix, 36" x 26". Skull measures 27" long and 18" tall. Lower jaw measures 10 1/2" long. Approximate weight is 55 pounds. Estimated length of entire fish would have been approximately 12 feet. Skull is 3-dimensional and has substantial depth and relief (lots of peaks, valleys and ridges). There are a total of 35 teeth of various sizes (most are in excellent condition), plus 11 cervical vertebrae with ribs. The largest tooth is 1 3/8" long. The cranial crest is present and articulated. Cranial elements exhibit superb texture and detail. Trauma in the posterior area of the skull indicates that sharks and other scavengers most likely ate the body of the fish. This is an exciting and striking display fossil of the largest fish species (except sharks) that ever roamed the prehistoric Cretaceous seaway! Specimen has mounting hardware installed on the back side and is 100% ready for a wall mount. Spectacular EXHIBIT or DECORATOR fossil!

Associated set of crusher shark teeth consisting of approximately 213 teeth from the upper and lower jaws. 102 teeth weathered out of the formation; the remaining 111 are still embedded in the natural chalk matrix. This number of teeth represents a substantial portion of the total tooth count. Largest tooth measures 18 mm. x 15 mm. x 18 mm. tall. The natural matrix (in plaster jacket) measures 26" x 20" x 4".
These super rare remains of a primitive shark have been professionally air-abraded and are contained in the natural chalk matrix (in plaster collecting jacket), as discovered. None of the teeth have been repositioned or relocated.
The lack of any post-cranial body parts may be explained by the discovery of two Squalicorax shark shed teeth in association with the specimen. As seen in some of the photos, several small groups of teeth are partially articulated. Also, a small patch of shark skin is preserved. There may be more skin and/or cranial elements underneath the teeth; however, this area will not be exposed until further preparation is completed.
Ten (10) dry gallons of talus from the discovery site (most certainly containing some additional isolated teeth) are included with the purchase.

Huge dorsal vertebra, 16" tall and 6" thick. Centrum measures 11.5" across, with a 36" circumference. This vertebra, from a classic Sauropod dinosaur, is very dense and completely mineralized. It is highly suitable for a "hands-on" exhibit and makes it easy to visualize the massive size of this dinosaur.

Beautiful ammonite with spectacular candy-apple red and lime-green iridescent colorization. Specimen measures 9 1/2" across and 2 1/2" thick. It also contains an EXTREMELY RARE occurrence of several puncture holes, most likely created by the massive teeth of a large mosasaur, as they were known to feed on these large ammonites. Bite marks cover an area approximately 3" x 3" and are very well defined. Two of the puncture holes show crushing around the perimeter of the hole. This spectacular ammonite not only has amazing color, it tells a story of predator and prey in the prehistoric ocean. Reproduction mosasaur jaw (as shown in photo) is included with purchase. Great VALUE at well under $10K!!
