Scylla Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just like the Western Interior Seaway needed any more large predators https://phys.org/news/2019-11-fossil-unexpected-discovery-million-year-old-shark.html 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heteromorph Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Exciting development for us Western Interior hunters! Now, time to look for it in the Eagle Ford... maybe? Or does the statement, “That's when we realized that almost all the teeth from North America previously reported as Cretodus crassidens belong to a different species new to science,” mean that it has probably already been found in the Eagle Ford? Maybe in the Atco, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Very interesting. This specimen was found in th Blue Hill Shale. The Cretodus teeth from the Blue hill shale look different than the ones in the Codell Sandstone above it, or the ones found in the Greenhorn limestone below it. I'm curious to see how these other Cretodus get classified. 3 For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm looking forward to reading that paper and seeing how they distinguish the new species from the older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
