About Dunkleosteus

Dunkleosteus was a giant armored placoderm and one of the most formidable predators in Earth’s history. It lived roughly 382 to 358 million years ago. Its name means “Dunkle’s bone” and honors the American paleontologist David Dunkle.

• Armored head and thorax: thick, interlocking bony plates protected the head and formed a rigid frame for powerful jaw muscles.
• Blades instead of teeth: instead of real teeth, its jaws carried self-sharpening bony plates that sliced through flesh and bone like shears.
• Size: the largest species, Dunkleosteus terrelli, is often estimated at several meters in length and over a ton in weight. The unarmored body rarely fossilized, so its exact shape and size are still debated.
• Apex predator: it sat at the top of the Late Devonian food chain and fed on fish, early sharks, arthropods and cephalopods. Bite marks on some fossils suggest it even attacked its own kind.
