Unlike other static in-situ fish specimens,

we are very proud to offer you a school of five

Pachyrhizodus posed in 3-Dimensions!

Available exclusively through our firm, five 3-D specimens are grouped together in dynamic poses,

 all but one of them schooling together. The fifth

one is being cut out of the group by a giant

predatory 3-D Xiphactinus!

.

Specimen Label Content:


Pachyrhizodus caninus
(PAK EE RIZE OH DUS)

Description: Ray-finned FISH
Specimen Location: Niobrara Chalk of northwestern Kansas
Name Means: "thick enameled tooth"

While these fish were certainly predators, they were also prey to many larger prehistoric fish. In fact, the first specimen of a Xiphactinus audax with Pachyrhizodus caninus remains inside was found by a person from the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History.
