Dunkleosteus figure - Schleich

This highly detailed figurine represents a Dunkleosteus, a type of fossil fish that measured between eight and ten meters long. It is one of the first giants of the underwater world. This strange creature lived 130 to 150 million years before the first dinosaurs. He was a formidable hunter capable of quickly crunching his prey. Due to its size, it could devour large sharks and even kill members of its own species. Weighing more than 6 tons, it had formidable jaws but was incapable of chewing well. Its strange name comes from paleontologist David Dunke and the Greek word "osteos" meaning "bone". This carefully finished figurine is equipped with an articulated jaw, which will allow the child to simulate attacks or a collector to offer several different poses to the figurine.
