Squalicorax
The Squalicorax was a formidable shark which roamed the late Cretaceous. As a cartilaginous creature, Squalicorax are primarily known from the fossilized vertebral centra of older individuals and from teeth found throughout the world |
|
Squalicorax teeth bear a
striking resemblance to the teeth of modern Tiger
sharks, a species known to actively scavenge.
Squalicorax, like many predators, was an
opportunistic feeder which hunted and
scavenged
as well; the fossilized remains of decayed hadrosaurs and tetrapods have been discovered with
embedded teeth of the Squalicorax. Despite its known
scavenging behavior which earned it the moniker
"Crow Shark," there should be little doubt of
the capabilities of the Squalicorax, which at
estimated lengths of 16.5 feet (5 meters), was a
formidable creature of the late
Cretaceous.
This panel-mounted specimen features a large number of vertebral centra with interspersed teeth arrayed in a wall-mountable panel approximately 72" long (2 meters ) and 30" wide. The nature of preservation of this specimen provides the perfect opportunity to educate museum visitors about the process of fossilization while its size makes it easily adapted to your exhibit space.
