Gillicus, the Gilled One

Paleo Bites

(image source: https://dinosauralive.fandom.com/wiki/Gillicus)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Gillicus, a fish with gills… you know, like literally all fish. You ain’t special, Gillicus. We see you for who you are. From the Late Cretaceous, this 6-foot ichthyodectiform is most famous for the “fish-within-a-fish” skeleton, where it’s the vore victim of the much cooler Xiphactinus. God, this guy is lame. What a loser. What a pushover. Actually, you know what, I can relate to this guy. I’m also a loser pushover who likes the idea of getting vored… uh, ignore that last part, please.
