Random Palaeo-Work idea of the Day #26

Shark Week is on, that sesanationalistic pile of crap. All the docs are utter crap and do ittle to educate the public on what sharks are really like.

But given I do like movking it, if I had to make a special for Shark Week...

Sharks Vs. Dinosaurs


Looks at fossil specimens of dinosaurs with evidence sharks fed on them, like bite mark or even teeth, and the sharks the made them, like Squalicorax, Certoxyrhina, and Cretolammna among others.

  • Czechia’s only dinosaur Burianosaurus 
  • Claosaurus and Silviasaurus from interior US.
  • Appalchian dinosaurs as described by Brownstein (2018).
