Introducing our Dunkleosteus! 33 feet long, and weighing 4 tons, you wouldn’t want to be swimming the water with him! This prehistoric fish had the strongest jaws and bite of any animal who has ever lived. Living 400 million years ago, in the Devonian period, Dunkle (our nickname for him) was a placoderm fish and is luckily, now extinct.

We set him in this sandy sea, and he immediately set about devouring an entire shark!

Move over trilobites, Dunkle is our latest fave prehistoric monster.
Yes, we’ve moved on from the early paleozoic to the late paleozoic, where we’ll spend a week or two of our time before we hit DINOSAURS! You may notice I added our next few Prehistory lessons to our curriculum. We’re having soooo much fun!
