| rdfs:comment | - There is a famous fossil called "fish within a fish" and it is a fossil of a Xiphactinus with a 6 foot long fish in its gut. This was clearly its last meal, and most likely what killed it. Xiphactinus often fed on Hesperornis.
- Xiphactinus audax (from Latin and Greek for "sword-ray") was a large, 4.5 to 5 m (15 to 20 feet) long predatory bony fish that lived in the Western Interior Sea, over what is now the middle of North America, during the Late Cretaceous. When alive, the fish would have resembled a gargantuan, fanged tarpon (to which it was, however, not related). Portheus molossus Cope is a junior synonym of the species. Skeletal remains of Xiphactinus have come from Kansas, Alabama, and Georgia; Europe and Australia.
- Xiphactinus was a prehistoric predatory fish, featured in the last episode of Sea Monsters. It was over 20 feet (6 m) long and lived 85,000,000-66,036,000 BCE. A teleost, bony fish, this creature was not a close relative of the sharks, though its' name, translated from Latin, means "Swift shark".
