  • Dunkleosteus was a large, predatory placoderm from the Devonian. It was a heavily armoured fish and was the largest predator in its ecosystem.

  • Dunkleosteus was a huge Devonian Placoderm. It had armor and was a deadly predator.
  • Dunkleosteus was a terrifying giant fish. It ate anything that stood in its path, from sharks to each other. The article "Dunkleosteus" is currently under construction. The evil dude will expand on this article ASAP. Thank you for your patience.
  • Dunkleosteus (pronounced dunk-lee-o-stee-uss) was the biggest predator in the Devonion sea. It was armour plated on the head, and instead of teeth it had giant plates of bone from its jaw that were just as dangerous, if not more so. The bone could cut through armour plating on other fish and slice through the inside of the fish with ease. The most unique thing about the "teeth" of Dunkleosteus is that they were like self sharpening scissors in the way that they would sharpen using each other! Dunkleosteus ate just about anything that crossed its path, including other Dunkleosteus. Dunkleosteus had very bad table manners, as well - it would crack open the plating of a fish like it was a nut and eat the fish inside, then later it would spit out the plates and bones that were left behind.

  • Dunkleosteus (meaning "Dunkle's Bone") is a prehistoric fish, and one of the largest arthrodire placoderms ever to have lived. This carnivorous predator lived during the Late Devonian period, about 380-360 million years ago. No other placoderms rival its size: it is considered to have been one of the fiercest marine predators. This hunter, measuring 6 m (20 ft) and one ton, was a hypercarnivorous apex predator. Few other placoderms, save, perhaps, its contemporary, Titanichthys, rivaled Dunkleosteus in size.
  • Dunkelosteus belongs to the Placodermi, a family of armour-plated fishes. More precisely, it was an arthodire - one of the more advanced members of the placoderm fish. Dunkelosteus was probably the largest member of the placoderms, and the largest animal up to that time, which would stay that way until the evolution of the dinosaurs. The Placodermi first started appearing in the Silurian, and all of them were extinct by the late Devonian. There are no modern descendants. Dunkleosteus remains have been found in late Devonian strata in Morocco, Belgium, Poland, and North America.
  • The largest species, D. terrelli, measuring up to 10 m (33 ft) and weighing 3.6 tonnes, was a hypercarnivorous apex predator. Few other placoderms, save, perhaps, its contemporary Titanichthys, rivaled Dunkleosteus in size.
