Xiphactinus Skeleton and Skull Casts: The Bull Dog Fish

Xiphactinus Skeleton & Skull Casts

The Prehistoric Predator That Ate Its Prey Whole

Command attention with Xiphactinus, one of the most iconic and terrifying fish to swim the Late Cretaceous seas. Stretching over 17 feet in length, this powerful predator was built for speed and ambush, armed with a gaping jaw lined with dagger-like teeth. It’s most famously known for “fish-within-a-fish” fossils: entire prey found preserved inside its massive stomach.
