Xiphactinus audax was a massive, extinct predatory fish that ruled the seas during the Late Cretaceous (~90–66 million years ago). It patrolled the Western Interior Seaway—a vast, shallow ocean that once split North America in two. Easily one of my all-time favorite specimens, this incredible fossil is now being showcased at the co-op here in Arizona. If you’re in the area, come see it up close—it’s an absolute showstopper. | In Stone Fossils

Xiphactinus was one of the most extreme fish of the Late Cretaceous, living around 100–66 million years ago. This giant predatory bony fish reached up to 6 meters (20 ft) in length and weighed around 400 kg (880 lbs). It ruled the Western Interior Seaway that once split North America in two. Fossils show Xiphactinus swallowed prey whole—including a 3-meter (10 ft) fish found preserved inside its stomach. That meal likely killed it, creating one of the most famous “last meal” fossils ever discove

Xiphactinus vertebral column celebration! One of my favorite #Xiphactinus mounts, this at the Mountain America Museum of Ancient Life in Lehi, Utah. The lighting is top notch, conveying a twilit world fraught with danger, enhanced by the presence of mosasaurs. a large elasmosaur, and a variety of other toothy beasts!. Xiphactinus lived in the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway of Kansas, but it has been found across the world. Which makes sense for a ferocious, effective predator, look how

Toothed diving birds like Hesperornis shared the Late Cretaceous seas with giants such as Xiphactinus, a predator that grew up to 6 meters (20 feet) long. Fossil evidence shows these massive fish could swallow prey nearly their own size in a single gulp. When shoals of smaller fish attracted both hunters, the competition was fierce, and once food ran short, even skilled divers like Hesperornis risked becoming prey themselves. 📹 Prehistoric Planet (2022) | Extinct Era
