The Saurichthys is a kind of fish. This fossil is very well preserved. Usually, the number of Saurichthys fossils is relatively small. The head, fins and body are well preserved. This fish fossil is very large! The matrix is about 69.5*27*2 cm and the fish is about 60 cm. Species of Saurichthys had an elongate bodyform superficially similar to the modern garfish. Its dorsal and anal fins were placed opposite each other well back on the body, and the tail was symmetrical. These features would have made it a powerful swimmer, and it is presumed to have hunted in a similar way to the pike, attacking from an ambush at high speed. Its jaws were extremely long, making up a third of the total body length, and ended in a sharp, beak-like tip.
