.9" Fossil Fish (Xiphactinus) Tooth in Situ - Kansas
This is a gorgeous tooth of the huge predatory fish, Xiphactinus audax. It's .9" long and was collected from the Smoky Hill Chalk of Gove County, Kansas. This tooth would have come from a large Xiphactinus in the 15 foot range. One can imagine how terrifying of a predator this fish must have been given its huge dagger-like tooth. The tooth is in incredible condition and the rock that it was found in has been prepped away for a beautiful tooth in situ presentation.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.
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.
