Fossil Fish Ichthyodectes ctenodon
Ichthyodectes ctenodon Large, complete skeleton of a Cretaceous predator fish, measuring 6 feet (72") long, on matrix, 83" x 33". The skull is 100% complete, with substantial depth and relief. All four (4) jaws are present and contain 88 teeth (most in EXCELLENT condition)! The large cranial crest, which is characteristic of the Ichthyodectids, is well-defined and dimensional. The left upper jaw displays a healed injury (pathological). Skeleton consists of 90% real bone and weighs approximately 150 lbs. Complete skeletons of large fossil fish in the Niobrara are extremely rare due to the large number of sharks and other scavengers present in the prehistoric ocean. The Ichthyodectid genus includes another similar and well known Kansas fish, the Xiphactinus audax, which grew to lengths of up to 18 feet. This exciting and striking display fossil is engineered for a wall-mount and is 100% ready for display! A custom wood crate is included for safe shipment to any address in the world! Stock #3964 |
