2.6" Monster Fish (Pachyrhizodus) Jaw - Kansas
This is a 2.6" wide, jaw section from Pachyrhizodus, a very large ray finned fish the inhabited the Inland Seaway some 80 million years ago. There aren't any teeth still residing in the jaw, but the tooth sockets do contain calcite grystals. It was collected from the Smoky Hill Chalk in Gove County, Kansas. This is a very cool specimen worthy of any collection.
