Natural Science Forum / Biology / Paleontology / December 2006Dunkleosteus had 5.2 TON/sq. inch bite! article link

It's still not obvious why the species died out, when some of its prey species came through the Permian extinction events OK.

I presume only faces have been found, as I did an image search and found bodies rendered as everything from sharks to eels, smooth bodied or plated head to tail, with the face grafted on the front. None of those illustrations included accompanying text explaining the bulk of the body was a guess.
