Dunkleosteus Tribute

I decided to make a tribute to an awesome fish.

~Dunkleosteus Facts~
Dunkleosteus (From "(David) Dunkle" + Greek: Osteus = bone; meaning "Dunkle's Bone") is a prehistoric fish, one of the largest arthrodire placoderm ever to have lived. This carnivorous predator lived during the Late Devonian period, about 360 -- 415 million years ago.

As no other placoderms rival its size, it is considered to be one of the most fierce marine predators which has ever existed. With a length of 6 m (20 ft) and weight of 1 ton, this hunter was at the top of the food chain during its time.

New studies have revealed several features in both its food and biomechanics as its ecology and physiology. The Placodermi first appeared in the Silurian, and the group became extinct during the transition from the Devonian to the Carboniferous, leaving no descendants.

In recent decades, the Dunkleosteus has achieved recognition in popular culture, with a large number of specimens on display, and notable appearances in entertainment media.

Numerous fossils of some species have been found in North America, Poland, Belgium and Morocco.
