Dunkleosteus

The Dunkleosteus was an incredibly large armored fish that measured eight to ten meters in length, making it a true giant during the Devonian period. Alongside the Titanichthys, it was among the first colossal creatures of the underwater world. This fearless hunter could snap at astonishing speed and preyed on large sharks. When no other food was available, it even ate its own kind. Scientists often find half - digested fish fossils near its skeleton, suggesting it couldn't chew well and swallowed prey in big chunks. Named after paleontologist David Dunkle, with 'osteos' meaning 'bone' in Greek.

Well, since the Dunkleosteus is a prehistoric fish, we can't really use it in the traditional sense. But if you're a scientist or a fossil enthusiast dealing with its fossils, here are some tips. When handling the fossils, be really careful as they're very old and brittle. Use soft brushes to clean off any dirt gently. Store them in a dry place to prevent any damage from moisture. And if you're displaying them, make sure the display area is stable and away from high - traffic areas to avoid accidental bumps. That's all you need to know to take good care of Dunkleosteus fossils.
