Meet Dunkleosteus. A late Devonian placoderm that roamed the open oceans and ruled its domain 400 million years ago. 

Imagine pulling this up on your fishing line. Its teeth were actually part of its skull and it did not have jaws.  Sharks, our cartilaginous friends, showing up some twenty million years later were among the first to introduce that rather important feature.  

Here are the jaws of Carcharadon Megalodon. It lived ten million years ago, was the largest shark that we know of and is thought to have reached lengths of sixty feet or more.

 

Inside info...

I named the character Yungina Capensis in my second feature length original screenplay entitled "The Third Event" after this primitive diapsid. One of my favorite diapsids. A diapsid is an animal that has two holes or openings behind the eye socket. All reptiles and archosaurs. 

Mammals have one and are also known as synapsids. If you feel the dent behind your eye, the temple, you will feel the opening I am referring to.
