Pachyrhizodus Fish Collection

Pachyrhizodus is an extinct class of prehistoric fish from the Late Cretaceous period, known for its distinctive, robust teeth. Belonging to the family Pachyrhizodontidae, this genus is characterized by its large, flat teeth adapted for crushing and grinding, suggesting it had a diet of hard-shelled prey. Fossils of Pachyrhizodus have been found in marine deposits, providing valuable insights into the diversity of ancient fish and their ecosystems.
