    Saurichthys small description
    Saurichthys
    was an elongated, streamlined, fish about 1 meter (3.3 ft) long, and looked similar to the modern
    PIKE
    . Its
    dorsal
    and
    anal fins
    were placed opposite each other well back on the body, and the tail was symmetrical. These features would have made it a powerful swimmer, and it is presumed to have hunted in a similar way to the PIKE, attacking from an ambush at high speed. Its jaws were extremely long, making up a third of the total body length, and ended in a sharp,
    beak
    -like tip.
    Fossil evidence, in the form of a bolus of bones in the same strata, indicates that
    Saurichthys
    attacked, or possibly scavenged the corpses of fishing
    PTEROSAURUS
    such as PREONDACTYLUS.
    Their closest modern-day relatives include the
    STURGEON
    S.
