Day 7 of #50daysofchondrichthyan is the Sphenodus macer, a shark-like neoselachian with uncertain phylogenetic placement. Its bauplan is similar to the cow shark but this species has a wide jaw and enlarged pectoral fins

I remade the video of my favorites from @herbertologist Emil Herbert’s paleo tarot:

Day 6 of #50daysofchondrichthyan is the serrated giant thresher shark; Alopias palatasi. Only known from isolated teeth but its tooth morphologies indicate that it might had similar lifestyle to the great white shark

Would anyone be interested if I offer to draw your dino in the style of 18th century cattle painting complete with random English countryside background
somebody told me that you had a lamniform that looks like an orectolobiform
Day 3 of #50daysofchondrichthyan is Palaeocarcharias, the earliest known lamniform shark. This shark is likely to be or close to the ancestor of all lamniform sharks, such as the great white, mako, and megamouth shark

Ever heard of the collared carpetshark (Parascyllium collare)? This little shark, found off eastern Australia, lives deep near rocky reefs and grows to just 85 cm. Despite its mysterious nature, it’s thriving—thanks to its untouched habitat and high survival rates.
me: huh i wish someone had made a paleo themed tarot deck *forgets i have literally already done this*
