Prehistoric Duck-Faced Antlered Eel Sharks Before the Dinosaurs | Harpagofututor

The Bear Gulch Limestone is a wonderland of ancient fish proportions. Yeah, its heyday was the time of the giant bugs, but the Bear Gulch shows that there were just as much wacky biological shenanigans going on in the oceans. Fish with giant bulbous heads, unicorn sharks that were not sharks, ratfish relatives with jaws full of saws, and one particularly bizarre little freak whose males carried around a pair of sexy stalks they could swing around for all to see. Come, let’s meet Harpagofututor.
