Prognathodon had a robust and heavy jaw that would have been capable of withstanding a high bite force supplied by powerful jaw muscles, which is why they are specialized in eating tough-shelled prey such as ammonites, turtles, and shellfish. Their teeth are very strong and well adapted for crushing that which destroys the protective shells of prey while shearing the flesh, also they have serrations that can be seen under much more detailed inspection.
