Researchers discovered ancient hunter, pointed fish that floats in the water of Nova Scotia

Researchers have discovered a new species of ancient fish, which are in front of the front, who made them a terrible and effective hunter.

This week, a paper published in the journal of vertebral peliyontology states that long, curved jaws highlight how the fish was developing small, front teeth that used to act like a fishing hook, about 350 million years ago.

Meanwhile, centimeters-Lumb back fangs were used to chew catches before digestion in a body which could be about one meter long. He hunted for the inland water of Nova Scotia for hunting, which was the possibility of a huge inland lake.

Conrad Wilson, the lead writer of a doctoral candidate at Peliyntology at Carlton University in Ottawa, said in an interview on Friday that the fish has been named Sfirannathsa Tayche, with the first phrase to be the first phrase which means “Hammer Jabra.”

“I would say that this is a quite scary looking fish. If its mouth is open, you will see the pointer in the jaw,” he said

But fossils are also important for clues that provide the growth of ray-fid fish-a huge and diverse vertebral group that occupies a wide range of aquatic and semi-jest environment worldwide.

Wilson said, “These fish were the last major groups of the vertebrae, which were being identified and there are still major gaps in our knowledge about their early development.”

Wilson, referring to the infection for the carboniferous period from the Devonian, said, “Fossils are telling us about which fish was looking at which fish after a massive extinction.”

Wilson stated that pelionantologists had wondered how the rated fish were recovered from the period of extinction because other groups of fish, such as the heavy armed category, are referred to as Plasoderm, were disappearing.

He said, “The beach where this fossil was discovered tells us … It is a group of animals that are doing a large -scale extinction, very quickly, very quickly,” he said.

The paper suggests that feeding methods of developed teeth may have played a role, making a evolutionary benefit to the species.

Wilson said that “the special feature of the front and pointed fangs and processing to the fleet at the back became a feature of many species.”

The region where fossils were found – on the blue beach on the minus basin, about 90 kilometers north of the Halifax – was believed to be part of a huge freshwater lake, not away from the sea.

The research team’s paper credited former director of the Blue Beach Fossil Museum Sonja Wood, who is to find a fossil jaw by urging Mansky with a creek flowing on the beach.

Wood, who died last year, was in a wheelchair and urged his colleague to search the area.

Wilson said, “He had a good feeling about what could be found … and he said that he should go and take a look.”

He said, “He went down and surely this (jaw fossil) was sitting there,” he said, “Mansky managed to fix the fossil before a storm rolled through that night.

Wilson said that fossils are investigated from the blue beach area, more discoveries are possible.

He said, “We have a lot of different anatomy, which have not been described yet. And we are working in the paper that is coming in a few months,” he said.
