Ecology & Habitat
Habitat
Prehistoric marine environments of the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods, likely inhabiting continental shelf and deep ocean regions in European paleographic zones.
Ecological Role
Potential mid-level predator in ancient marine ecosystems, contributing to understanding evolutionary dynamics of early chimaera fish lineages.
Morphology
- SKIN COAT Cartilaginous dermal layers with potential protective adaptations
- LIMBS WINGS Fin structures consistent with chimaera evolutionary patterns
- HEAD SENSORY Likely possessed advanced sensory capabilities for marine predation, with potential electroreception adaptations
- BODY STRUCTURE Cartilaginous skeleton typical of holocephalan fish, with robust tooth structures indicating specialized feeding mechanisms
