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
