This is a fossil of the plated head of Dunkleosteus terrelli, a Placoderm fish from the Devonian period some 417-354 million years ago. Dunkleosteus grew up to 20 feet long and were one of the earliest large vertebrate predators. Overall, meeting a Dunkleosteus looks every bit as unpleasant as meeting a hungry shark.
