Paleo Info

Dunkleosteus (name meaning (David) Dunkle's Bone) is an extinct genus of large arthrodire fish from the Late Devonian Period, about 382–358 million years ago. One of the first apex predators, Dunkleosteus had a bite force that is considered the highest of any fish and among the highest of any animal. Size estimates have fluctuated over the years, However, current size estimates put Dunkleosteus at around 3.4 metres for an average adult.

Dunkleosteus consists of ten species, some of which are among the largest placoderms ("plate-skinned") to have ever lived: D. terrelli, D. belgicus, D. denisoni, D. marsaisi, D. magnificus, D. missouriensis, D. newberryi, D. amblyodoratus, D. raveri, and D. tuderensis. The largest and best known species is D. terrelli. Since body shape is not known, various methods of estimation put the living total length of the largest known specimen between 4.1 to 10 m (13 to 33 ft) long and weigh around 1–4 t (1.1–4.4 short tons). However, lengths of 5 metres (16 ft) or more are poorly supported and the most extensive analyses support smaller size estimates.
