Just A Little Background Information

So two days ago I caught a Xiphactinus audax, a long predatory bony fish that lived in the Western Interior Sea, over what is now the middle of North America, during the Late Cretaceous. I found him on the fourth floor of The American Museum of Natural History.



It was a pretty big fish and there was a lot of "structure" around getting in the way.



Included in this post is a picture of an Xiphactinus audax skeleton.




If ya'll want I can photoshop some lite beer & sunglasses on me or the fish to meet The Official Tywappity Regulatory Standards. "I kid, I kid"
