Pachyrhizodus Sp is an extinct genus of prehistoric fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. These fish were part of the Ichthyodectidae family, which includes a diverse group of predatory marine fish that existed during the Mesozoic era. Pachyrhizodus species were characterized by their large size and elongated bodies, with sharp teeth adapted for catching prey in the ancient oceans.

Pachyrhizodus fossils have been found in various locations around the world, including North America and Europe. These discoveries have provided valuable insights into the evolutionary history and paleobiology of this genus. Researchers have studied the morphology and ecology of Pachyrhizodus to better understand its place in the ancient marine ecosystem.

The study of Pachyrhizodus has contributed to our understanding of prehistoric marine life and the dynamics of ancient aquatic environments. By analyzing fossil remains and reconstructing the biology of these extinct fish, scientists have been able to piece together a more comprehensive picture of the evolutionary processes that shaped life on Earth millions of years age

Please be aware of the nature of fossils:

Being buried under the ground for millions of years under tons of pressure tends to be rough. No fossil comes out of the ground whole and perfect. Most fossils have undergone some restoration, while others are altered by man simply to enhance their presentation in different ways. The workers in United States do a very professional job, of unearthing and preserving these natural treasures, however, commonly natural cracks are visible on the surface. These are part of the natural beauty of the fossil and are not considered defects.
