 Upper Cretaceous 99-65 Million Years old

Pycnodontiforms, an extinct group within the class Actinopterygii that includes the genus Pycnodus, thrived in Jurassic seas approximately 200 to 146 million years ago. These fish ranged from small to medium size, possessing laterally compressed, nearly circular bodies. Primarily inhabiting shallow marine environments, they featured specialized jaws equipped with rounded, flattened teeth designed to crush prey. Some species adapted to freshwater habitats, likely feeding on mollusks and crustaceans.

Found in rock formations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
