The site takes its name from a fish that lived almost 360 million years
ago in the Cleveland, Ohio area, known as Dunkleosteus
terrelli, affectionately known as simply "The Dunky."
| Probably in the very spot where I now sit, about 400 million years ago,
during the appropriately named, Age of Fishes, the Dunky ruled the Cleveland
area which was then a warm Devonian sea (An amazing specimen was discovered
about 4 miles from where I live in the shale of the Rocky River valley near
Cleveland). |

As big as a school bus -- he was supposed to be between 16 and 30+ feet long
-- he was one of the first animals on earth to have jaws. And what jaws!
Dunky's massive jaws were self-sharpening and hailed him as the top predator
of his day -- a sort of floating Tyranosaurs Rex that would devour anything
that got in his way, including sharks. Dunky didn't need teeth -- his jaws
were razor sharp. He also had little to worry about himself. Thought his
body was made of cartilage, his massive, 2 feet plus long head was covered
in bony plates. A jointed neck, scaleless body, and an eel like tail complete
the portrait of this fascinating and aggressive predator.
Dunky's kind died out after 50 to 60 million years of dominance of the seas.
The largest member of the Dinichtyhyidade family (the name meaning literally
"Terrible Fishes"), Dunky could have easily swallowed a person whole.
