Dimensions: 50.77mm x 91.36mm x 59.61mm (1.99in x 3.6in x 2.35in) 358 million years ago, a shallow sea teeming with marine life covered Northeast Ohio. *Dunkleosteus terrelli*, the largest predator and one of the fiercest creatures alive in the Devonian “Age of Fishes,” ruled the subtropical waters. Up to 20 feet in length and weighing more than 1 ton, this arthrodire fish was capable of chopping prehistoric sharks into chum! *Dunkleosteus* had a massive skull made of thick, bony plates, and 2 sets of fang-like protrusions near the front of powerful, self-sharpening jawbones. On November 18, 2020, the Ohio General Assembly passed a bill declaring *Dunkleosteus terrelli* the state fossil fish. Scanner: Artec Spider Image by Hailey Majewski & Aidan Daiker, CMNH
