Dunkleosteus is an extinct genus of large jointed-neck fish. They lived during the Late Devonian period, about 358 to 382 million years ago.

This pelagic fish swam in open waters. It ruled as one of the first vertebrate apex predators.

Paleontologists uncovered fossils remains of Dunkleosteus in the United States, Canada, Poland, Belgium and Morocco.

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History houses the largest collection of Dunkleosteus fossils in the world. Smaller collections rest in other major museums.

These include the American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. The Yale Peabody Museum, the Natural History Museum in London, and the Cincinnati Museum Center also hold collections.
