Discover the fascinating Pycnodontiforms—extinct ray-finned fishes from the Jurassic seas, thriving between 200 and 146 million years ago. These small to medium-sized fish featured uniquely compressed, nearly circular bodies and specialized jaws equipped with round, flattened teeth perfect for crushing their prey. Mostly found in shallow marine environments, some species are even adapted to river habitats, feeding on mollusks and crustaceans. This exceptional fossil offers a remarkable glimpse into these ancient creatures' specialized adaptations and environments.

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