This is a 2.25" wide fossil Xiphactinus audax premaxillary, collected from the Cretaceous-aged Ozan Formation in Fannin County, Texas. Multiple teeth can still be seen preserved within the jaw.

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.
