Another one of my favorites, the "ginsu" shark, so named for its sharp blade-like teeth. The largest one in the center is indeed from POC, but I bought it online. -

Cretoxyrhina and Squalicorax (Ginsu and Crony) drawing
Macrophyseter posted a topic in Paleo Re-creations
After stuffing my face into tons of scientific articles on Late Cretaceous Lamniformes, I decided that I'd want to draw some sharks. Here's a drawing of the two infamous sharks of the Niobrara Formation Cretoxyrhina mantelli and Squalicorax falcatus as partners-in-crime. I've made the Cretoxyrhina ≈6-7 meters and the Squalicorax ≈2 meters. As 2 meters would be the same size as a very tall 6'6" human, you could imagine the Squalicorax as the tallest ordinary human and see how much bigger Cretoxyrhina is. I've always felt like Squalicorax would commonly accompany predators like Cretoxyrhina to "help" strip bare the latter's kill (Crow sharks are indeed inferred by scientists as opportunistic feeders or scavengers), almost as if Ginsus had them as little cronies. Also, the common name Crow Shark sounds somewhat similar to crony. Now what if we started a new nickname for Squalicorax as a crony? That would be hilarious and maybe realistic. EXTRAS

Here's some of my best Texas teeth. All personal finds except for the partial Tyrannosaurid tooth. The little red tooth on the bottom is also Mosasaur.

Are these Cretoxyrhina Mantelli teeth? I've been researching them and that's all I can come up with! Both are right at 1-1/4" long and 1" wide, they were found in South Alabama in the Blufftown Formation. As always, any comments will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Terence
