Enchodus fang tooth with jaw bone was excavated from the phosphate mining region in Khouribga from the Oulad Abdoun Basin of Morocco, North Africa. Loose fangs from Enchodus are not uncommon but large and INTACT parts of jaw / skull bone with the fang are extremely rare! This large predatory bony fish was easily the "saber-tooth tiger" of the prehistoric oceans. Judging from the massive fangs along with the streamlined body contour, the Enchodus was most likely a ferocious fish that struck it's prey with lightning quick attacks.
