Auspex Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Good syntheses of the evolving ideas about this bizarre shark; thanks!

Jesse Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 lordpiney, thanks for the link to the article! The post script at the bottom is a result of Ray Troll. He and I have been in close contact since I began my research and he has been an unfathomable asset. This is a great article and goes a long way to bring this shark into the public eye. He did make some horrible mistakes though that are problematic. He talks about the Bendix Almgreen paper but admitted that he hasn't read it. In this paper there is a description of a specimen that has cranial material and upper jaw elements! I have also found another specimen that I will be writing up with cranial material!! I will be CT scanning both of these specimens for the first time next week and will be making a 3d map of the cranium of the sharks(hopefully).
