Dunkleosteus looked like the violent brute it was: powerfully built with an armor-plated head. It was streamlined and shark-like. Dunkleosteus lacked true teeth. Instead it had two long bony blades that could snap and crush almost anything. Pigment cells suggest Dunkleosteus had dark colors on its back and a silvery belly. The fish was anything but picky with its food. It ate fish, sharks and even its own kind. It appears that Dunkleosteus suffered from indigestion as a result. Its fossils are often associated with regurgitated, semi-digested remains of fish.
