Puffer Fish Mouth Plate at Edith Andre blog

Puffer Fish Mouth Plate. Here are some puffer fish mouth plates me and my wife found today on myrtle beach. These are fossil mouthplates from pufferfish that lived around 40 million years ago during the eocene epoch. The teeth of this saltwater fish are fused together on a hard plate on the roof of the mouth, which is used to grind and crush foods such as sea urchins, hermit crabs, mollusks, and crustaceans. But exactly how is it formed? Puffer fish and parrot fish mouth plates have a right plate and a left. When the fish is threatened it puffs up to twice its size and becomes round by gulping in air and water. Perhaps the most bizarre, however, is the 'beak' of pufferfishes. Porcupine fish (and burrfish) mouth plates are a single fused piece.
