Ecology & Habitat
Habitat
Marine environments, likely inhabiting prehistoric continental shelf and deep ocean ecosystems during the Carboniferous period
Ecological Role
Potential apex predator in marine food chains, contributing to understanding evolutionary dynamics of early holocephalan fish species
Morphology
- SKIN COAT Likely smooth cartilaginous dermis characteristic of early chimaera species
- LIMBS WINGS Pectoral and dorsal fin structures adapted for marine locomotion
- HEAD SENSORY Probable advanced sensory structures for deep marine navigation and prey detection
- BODY STRUCTURE Cartilaginous skeleton, elongated marine body typical of early holocephalan fish, approximately 0.3-0.5 m in estimated total length
