Fanged Enchodus predatory fish from the late Cretaceous period
Fanged Enchodus, six-foot-long predatory fish from the late Cretaceous period about 75 million years ago, swim in a estuary in the Western Interior Seaway of North America. On the shore to the right are duck-billed Hadrosaurs and on the left are a pair of ostrich-like Struthiomimus. In the center a flock of feathered Ichthyornis take to the air.
During the mid to late Cretaceous the continent of North America was divided by waters from the Arctic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Also known as the Cretaceous Seaway, the Niobraran Sea, and the North American Inland Sea, much of the North American Midwest was under water for about 30 million years. In some places the water may have been as deep as 3, 000 feet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing world of the late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 million years ago. In this digitally generated image by Walter Myers, we are transported to the Western Interior Seaway of North America, where an array of prehistoric creatures coexist in a vibrant estuary. Dominating the scene is the fearsome Fanged Enchodus, a six-foot-long predatory fish known for its razor-sharp teeth and carnivorous nature. Swimming alongside these formidable hunters are duck-billed Hadrosaurs on the right and ostrich-like Struthiomimus on the left, creating a diverse ecosystem that thrived during this era. Taking flight from the center are feathered Ichthyornis, showcasing their evolutionary adaptation to aerial life. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into how various species interacted within this ancient marine environment. During this time period, much of North America was submerged under water due to what is now known as the Cretaceous Seaway or Niobraran Sea. The continent was divided by waters from both Arctic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. These vast waterways may have reached depths up to 3,000 feet in some areas. Through this artwork's intricate details and vivid colors, it allows us to appreciate Earth's rich natural history while highlighting fascinating aspects such as paleontology and paleoichthyology. It serves as a reminder that our planet has undergone remarkable transformations over millions of years and continues to hold countless mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
