A type of shark or other fish with a broad, flattened snout; also a person with a flat nose.
From 'flat' + 'nose', a descriptive compound. Applied to various shark species and fish with that anatomical feature, similar to 'flathead' as a fish description.
Flatnose sharks and pufferfish have those broad, flat snouts because they hunt on the ocean floor and poke into crevices and sand—their nose shape is perfectly designed for underwater archaeology looking for hidden prey!
