Megapiranha
''Megapiranha paranensis'' is an extinct serrasalmid characin fish from the Late Miocene (8–10 million years ago) of Argentina described in 2009.〔(Live Science: Toothy 3-foot Piranha Fossil Found )〕 It is thought to have been up to a meter in length. The Holotype consists only of premaxillae and a zigzag tooth row; the rest of its body is unknown.〔 (Summary of the paper )〕 This dentition is reminiscent of both the double-row seen in pacus, and the single row seen in the teeth of modern piranhas, suggesting that ''M. paranensis'' is a transitional form. ==References==
