Description: A rarely seen member of the Order Aspidorynchiformes, Family Aspidorynchidae, it is a member of the bony fishes commonly known as a “needle fish” due to its body shape. The upper and lower jaws have been extended into a rostrum; these fish were predators of smaller fish. Notice the rodlike scales and the mouthful of sharp teeth. The genus went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, passing the way of the dinosaurs.
