Shipping Dunkleosteus, also known as Dinichthys was the top predator of the Late Devonian Age about 420 million years ago. This forerunner of the modern shark sometimes measured up to 40 feet in length and the only fossils of this great beast are of the head. The rear portions of the animal probably consisted of cartilage like modern sharks and therefore did not fossilize. The teeth of this monster was very dense hardened bony plates that were self-sharpened every time it closed its jaws. This is the first paleo-life restoration in the collection.
Assembly is quite easy and minimal filling is required.
The kit also includes a four page instruction booklet. This creature was possibly a forerunner of Dinosaurs as it shared some features with them. The fossil was found by Dr. Jose Bonaparte in Argentina on 1969. This kit is relatively easy to assemble and has some very small parts. Also included is a 5 page instruction booklet.
