Cannibalism (conspecific predation) is a surprisingly common and widespread behavior in modern ecosystems; however, direct evidence for cannibalism is strongly lacking in the fossil record. Identifying cannibalism is important to help better understand recondite trophic interactions between extinct species, as well as to detect potential resource pressures and competition in their ecosystems. Here, I describe the first direct evidence for a cannibalistic diet in a pachycormiform fish, based on three exceptionally well-preserved specimens of Pachycormus macropterus (de Blainville, 1818) with conspecific gut contents from the Early Jurassic (Toarcian) of Normandy (France). The generalist diet of Pachycormus is proven to be more complex than previously considered, which has recently been shown to include vampyropod squids, belemnoteuthids, ammonites, and small teleosts. All of the prey fishes were ingested whole in a longitudinal orientation, revealing that Pachycormus actively hunted juveniles of its own kind and was an indiscriminate opportunistic predator. The cannibal individuals themselves are also juveniles, further supporting previous findings for a dietary shift in Pachycormus from piscivorous to teuthophagous over ontogeny. Despite a widespread European distribution of Pachycormus, only specimens from the Normandy area show evidence for cannibalism, suggesting that the more conventional prey resources were either scarce or restricted at the site, prompting Pachycormus juveniles to indiscriminately predate on one another.
