Cretaceous Dinosaur Era, 100 million years ago.

Onchopristis, a giant sawfish from the Upper Cretaceous seas, stands out with its distinctive 2.5-meter-long rostrum lined with sharp barbs—earning it the name "Giant Saw." Primarily feeding on crustaceans, this ancient predator used its saw-like snout to dig in shallow waters. Fossils reveal that these ocean dwellers migrated into freshwater rivers to breed, seeking safer places for their young. However, during these migrations, they faced predators like Spinosaurus, which often hunted them. The survival of Onchopristis depended on its large numbers, making each specimen a remarkable piece of prehistoric history worth owning.
