Fossil Sawfish Rostrum Spine (Denticle). This is an extinct sawfish that is found in Cretaceous deposits throughout North Africa. Although the spines are barbed (today’s sawfish spines are not barbed), the rostrum (snout) is thought to serve the same purpose as today’s sawfish for sensing and stunning prey, as well as defence.

Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions.
