Description
There are things out there, in the ground, that we would have never imagined when not somebody dug it up. Stratodus is one
of these creatures. This weird, slender, giant grew up to 5 m in length, was covered in an armor, not much different from that of sturgeons, and had jaws filled with hundreds of needle like teeth, growing in all directions.
The Alepisauriforme lived during the Masstrichtian in marine in brackisch waters and probably hunted small fish. It was so far found in Africa and North America.

This is a quick sketch done for #SundayFishSketch on Twitter

Here a (French) paper which gives you little idea how the fossils look like: hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/file/…
