Roz Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 That was cool, a dusty ? shark was found out of range sometimes, with one being found in the Mississippi River in Illinois. Wow, the cookie cutter shark and goblin are really unique looking. Great video... Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boesse Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'll have to watch it at some point. I haven't chatted with Doug in about two years or so... he was originally working on fossil sharks from California, but he didn't really keep up with it.

siteseer Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'll have to watch it at some point.

I remember hearing about him as a sort of heir apparent to Applegate and Welton as "the California shark tooth guy." I thought Marcel was going to be "the guy" after that but then he moved to Texas or Tahiti or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroMike Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 It seems like a very interesting video to watch. Unfortunately, when he said "Mammalogy", I heard "Mammography" and thought 'Hey! you now have my attention, LOL and imagine my disappointment when I realized what he REALLY said, LOL Soooooo, when I can get my mind cleaned up and in the right mode, I will sit down and view this " This comment brought to you by the semi-famous AeroMike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, it doesn't sound like he's done anything paleo-related in years, which is unfortunate - his publications were great. I'll at least be doing some papers on sharks in the future...

Wow, the cookie cutter shark and goblin are really unique looking. Great video... I believe that record belongs to the bull shark, Carcharinus leucas, a shark notorious for invading fresh-water. The bull shark is known as the Zambezi River shark in Africa and the Lake Nicaraugua shark in Central America. I encountered one in the Suwannee River in Florida in a pool that is 160 river-miles inland from the mouth. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 ...I encountered one in the Suwannee River in Florida in a pool that is 160 river-miles inland from the mouth. That must have been an interesting moment! How did the shark behave?

Harry Pristis Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 That must have been an interesting moment!How did the shark behave? It was bold. It swam up to within a few feet of me then veered off at a 45 degree angle. Never saw it again, though we spent the rest of the afternoon diving in the vicinity. The shark was land-locked by many riffles downstream. It clearly got into the pool when the river was in flood (as it is at this moment). http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, I guess paleontology is like any other field: some people lose interest over time and chase after something else. I remember a Cal student in the early 90's who was really into paleo (mammals), but he got a job as a mailman. There was a guy in Bakersfield who moved out-of-state. He was a big help at the BVMNH while he was around. I just read Kriwet and Benton (2004). It's interesting but has some glaring English errors. The people noted as reviewing it should be punished. What happened to editing? I see misspellings on the news every week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
