A unique Dunkleosteus sculpture

 From George Lafaye via Etsy comes this unique Dunk, a clay hand-sculpt over a wire armature. It's not the most accurate modeling job: among other things, the lower tail lobe is extended to be part of the stand.  That extra set of anal fins is problematical, and the surface detailing is minimal.  I'm not sure any fish ever had this color pattern.  On the other hand, it's altogether charming, the dorsal is in the right place, the tail is the right type, and did I mention it's cute?
