帆锯鳐属属名Onchopristis,意为“(牙齿)有倒钩的锯鳐”)是生存于白垩纪后期的大型淡水[9],化石发现于北非、北美与纽西兰。其外形与现生的锯鳐科相近,吻部细长,牙齿著生于吻测,但两者并非近亲,且锯鳐科的牙侧光滑无凸起,而帆锯鳐的牙齿在似釉质冠(enameloid cap)以后的区域具有一至五个倒钩[1][10]

帆锯鳐属的牙齿与其他锯鳐的比较(红色为努米底亚帆锯鳐,绿色为邓氏帆锯鳐)

吻突长约2.5米(8.2英尺),外部有带刺的牙齿。在两种帆锯鳐中,努米底亚帆锯鳐的每颗牙齿都有一个倒钩,但在邓氏帆锯鳐的每颗牙齿上有两到五个倒钩。[1]它们可以长到5-6米长。[13]

古生态学

编辑

和现代锯鳐一样,帆锯鳐的眼睛位于头顶,用于发现捕食者而不是猎物,它的嘴和鳃都在它的身体下侧。[14]它们的吻部很可能会有电感受器来检测它们下面的水中的食物,就像现代的鲨鱼一样。帆锯鳐可能会穿过河床寻找然后吃掉猎物。[14]

大众文化

编辑

帆锯鳐在《Jurassic World™:游戏》 中作为可收集角色登场。

在《恐龙星球》的电视节目中,帆锯鳐被认为是棘龙的主要食物。
