Dunkleosteus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dunkleosteus is an extinct genus of arthrodire placoderm fish that existed during the Late Devonian period, about 380-360 million years ago. Some of the species, such as D. terrelli, D. marsaisi, and D. magnificus, are among the largest arthrodire placoderms ever to have lived.
