2.1" Fossil Xiphactinus (Cretaceous Fish) Partial Vertebra - Texas
This is a 2.1" wide fossil Xiphactinus audax vertebra half, collected from the Cretaceous-aged Ozan Formation in Fannin County, Texas. The rock it was found in has been prepped away from the vertebra.
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.
