Dunkleosteus

Ages: 4 - 10. The Dunkleosteus swam the seas 130 - 150 million years before the first dinosaurs emerged. This fearless prehistoric hunter could snap with astonishing speed and feasted on large sharks. When other prey was scarce, it didn't hesitate to eat its own kind. Scientists often find half - digested fish fossils alongside its skeleton. This suggests that this armored fish couldn't chew well and swallowed prey in big chunks. Named after paleontologist David Dunkle, with 'osteos' in Greek meaning 'bone', the Dunkleosteus is a fascinating part of prehistory.

If you have a model or replica of the Dunkleosteus, it's great for display. You can place it in your room, study, or a school project. To use it, simply find a stable spot to show it off. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage. For maintenance, keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping. If it gets dusty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. This way, your Dunkleosteus model will stay in great condition for a long time.
