Description

Enchodus is a predatory fish that lived from the Late Cretaceous period, about 100 million years ago, to the end of the Eocene epoch, about 34 million years ago. It was a formidable marine predator, known for its very large front teeth. Specimens of this genus of fish could reach 1.5 meters in length and the front teeth could measure over 6 cm in length. Fossils of Enchodus are found in countless places around the world, from North America to North Africa.

Although it was a marine predator, its remains have been found in the stomachs of other larger predators, such as sharks, mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and birds. Due to its large teeth, it has been nicknamed the "Saber-Toothed Herring" by fossil hunters.
