1.8" Fossil Xiphactinus (Cretaceous Fish) Vertebra - Texas
This is a 1.8" wide fossil Xiphactinus audax vertebra from the Late Cretaceous Gober Chalk Formation of Fannin County, Texas. Unlike the majority of Xiphactinus vertebrae from the Kansas Chalk, this specimen has undergone little to no compression.
Xiphactinus was a huge predatory fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous. It would have been a voracious predator, growing 15-20 feet long. When alive, the fish would have resembled a gargantuan fanged tarpon. It appeared in the BBC's Sea Monsters and National Geographic's Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, and was labelled a "Prehistoric Terror" in the Animal Planet show River Monsters.
