I am really excited about a project we have been working on. We decided to switch our shark displays from the ones based on Geological era to a taxonomic display style. We had been considering this since we made a similar switch with our dinosaurs. It has made those programs flow more easily and i think allowed the kids to get a better understanding of the animals. We originally set our displays up as they were because we simply did not have enough material to do taxonomic displays. There were a few orders of sharks for which we had only one or two fossils and one extinct order for which we ha

I have learned so much and enjoy the Squaliformes thread so much, that i wanted to get a start on the next one. I am very curious about the Orectolobiformes fossils that are lurking in the collections of TFF members. Carpet Sharks are not only represented by teeth but there are also opportunities for far more complete specimens, especially from the Cretaceous of Lebanon. The goal of this thread is show off our fossils but also exchange information, learn and in general just appreciate some of the sharks less frequently seen on TFF. Orectolobiformes fossils date back as far as the E

Hey all, does anyone know of a good source of information for the identification of orectolobiformes? Or someone I could contact concerning these sharks? I have five teeth that most likely belong to different species, but have been having a hard time with their IDs. I am going through Cappetta's 2012 handbook, have gone through Welton and Farish, and looked up orectolobiformes on the Fossil Forum, to no avail. I will most likely be posting pictures later today or tomorrow. Thanks!
