(Late Cretaceous, Lane County, KA)

The Squalicorax was a formidable shark which roamed the late Cretaceous. As a cartilaginous creature, Squalicorax are primarily known from the fossilized vertebral centra of older individuals and from teeth found throughout the world.

Squalicorax teeth bear a striking resemblance to the teeth of modern Tiger sharks, a species known to actively scavenge. Squalicorax, like many predators, was an opportunistic feeder which hunted and scavenged as well; the fossilized remains of decayed hadrosaurs and tetrapods have been discovered with embedded teeth of the Squalicorax.

Despite its known scavenging behavior which earned it the moniker "Crow Shark," there should be little doubt of the capabilities of the Squalicorax, which at estimated lengths of 16.5 feet (5 meters), was a formidable creature of the late Cretaceous.

This panel-mounted specimen features a large number of vertebral centra with interspersed teeth arrayed in a wall-mountable panel. The nature of preservation of this specimen provides the perfect opportunity to educate museum visitors about the process of fossilization while its size makes it easily adapted to your exhibit space.
