Description: | Acentrophorus varians was a small fish, about the same size as a sardine. It lived in the Zechstein sea (a warm tropical sea), 250 million years ago. Acentophorus was adapted to survive in the very salty water. It was probably a scavenger and fed from the remains of other dead fish. It had tiny sharp, pointed teeth for tearing flesh, but was one of the smallest fish in the sea at that time and was therefore probably not a predator. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
