A Monster From Deep History
These are realistic skulls — not fantasy props, they evoke sea creatures once alive on Earth. The monstrous head belongs to an extinct fish, an animal you would not enjoy meeting today during your afternoon swim; front teeth appear designed to rip flesh in many varieties, and the jaw no doubt had colossal muscles attached.
