Dunkleosteus sp. prehistoric fish
Dunkleosteus sp. fish in the sea in the Devonian period (408-360 million years ago), computer artwork. This large predatory fish had jaws but not true teeth, instead having plates of sharp bone. It is thought that Dunkleosteus sp. fish fed on other fish, sharks and other marine life. It was a placoderm fish, and had a heavily-armoured head and a scaleless body. Some species of Dunkleosteus are thought to have reached lengths approaching ten metres. This model is from the Devonian Sea Simulator, an interactive virtual reality model of Devonian marine life

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Dunkleosteus sp. , a prehistoric fish that roamed the seas during the Devonian period, approximately 408-360 million years ago. Created through intricate computer artwork, this image brings to life the ancient marine world in stunning detail. Dunkleosteus sp. was an imposing predator with its massive jaws and unique dental structure. Instead of true teeth, it possessed sharp bone plates that aided in capturing and devouring its prey. This formidable creature is believed to have feasted on other fish, sharks, and various marine organisms. As a placoderm fish, Dunkleosteus sp. boasted a heavily-armoured head and a scaleless body, making it an intimidating presence beneath the waves. Some species even reached extraordinary lengths of up to ten meters. The model featured in this photograph is part of the remarkable Devonian Sea Simulator—an interactive virtual reality experience showcasing marine life from this ancient era. Through cutting-edge technology, viewers can immerse themselves in a simulated underwater environment teeming with diverse creatures from millions of years ago. With its jaw-dropping illustration and emphasis on paleontology and extinct species like Dunkleosteus sp. , this print serves as both an educational tool for enthusiasts and a testament to Earth's rich history before human existence.
