Enchodus libycus is an extinct species of predatory fish from the late Cretaceous period. Enchodus, often referred to as “saber-toothed herring,” is known for its distinctive long, curved teeth, which were likely used to catch prey. Fossils of Enchodus, including E. libycus, are commonly found in marine deposits, particularly in regions that were once covered by shallow seas.
These fossils are often well-preserved and can include teeth, jaw fragments, and sometimes even complete skeletal remains. Enchodus fossils are popular among collectors and are also valuable for educational purposes, as they provide insights into the marine ecosystems of the Cretaceous period.
