Slaughter in the Sea: Fossil Evidence Reveals the Brutal World of the Skull-crushing Devonian Apex Predator Dunkleosteus terrelli

The oceans of Devonian Earth were spilling over with amazing and weird life forms. For Dunkleosteus, the carnivorous, cleaver-jawed, armored apex predator, the ocean was a menu. Join MOR Paleontology Lab and Field Manager Lee Hall and learn how fossils reveal the brutal realities of survival 358 million years ago, and how Dunkleosteus may have ended up on its own dinner table.

MOR's Presenting Prehistory: A Paleontology Lecture Series explores recent paleontological findings and current hypotheses as conveyed by scientists actively exploring how life on Earth has changed. Discoveries made by paleontologists continue to shed new light on the deep past of the planet and the creatures that arose here.

Refreshments will be provided post-lecture during the speaker meet-and-greet.
