Description: | Coccosteus was an armoured fish, meaning that its head and parts of its body were covered with bony plates. You can see the bones of its back and tail, which did not have a covering of bony plates. This was a hunting fish. It had sharp serrated edges (a bit like steak knives) on its jaws, which it used to bite into its prey. | 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 |
