Miocene_Mason Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Physogaleus contortus which is sometimes called a Pygmy tiger shark or a extinct tiger shark. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerratedTeeth Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Welcome to TFF! As @WhodamanHD said, you have a very nice Physogaleus Contortus. You can tell this because compared to G. Cuvier, G. Mayumbensis, and G. Aduncus, the Physogaleus Contortus has a slender and slightly twisted crown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are to be commended for using the Linnean names for these sharks, and for italicizing those names. But, you should be aware that the species (the "trivial") name is NOT capitalized. 2 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...
