Fossilized fish jaw section of an Enchodus with one fang-like tooth still preserved.

A fossilized fish tooth of an Enchodus petrosus from the Taylor Group in the South Sulphur River of Texas, USA. This commonly found extinct genus is sometimes called the "saber-toothed herring", though it is not actually related to true herring. #FossilFriday
