Sclerorhynchus was about 1 metre (3.3 ft) long, and looked somewhat like a modern sawfish, having a long snout with tooth-like serrations along the sides. In other respects, it looked like a flattened shark with enlarged, wing-like pectoral fins. It probably used these to glide over the ocean floor, propelled by its tail, weeding out shrimps, shellfish and flounders from the sand with its long snout.
