Priory_of_Sion Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Gogoselachus Lynnbeazleyae was a shark from the later Devonian, and recent findings show that the jaw of the shark contains bone. This is rather surprising as modern sharks lack bones completely. Seeing this shows that sharks likely evolved from bony fish in the Silurian and kept some sort of bone in their skeletons until 380 million years ago and likely well into the Carboniferous if not further. The leading idea now seems to be that sharks evolved from placoderms. Also in Shark News is the "Godzilla" Shark, which is an impresive Carboniferous age predator with some cool spikes and stubby Carnotaurus-like(or Godzilla like) face.

Walter_Sobchak Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 At first glance I read the title as "Sharks with boners." I suppose that would have changed the content of the article considerably. Belesarius and Jeeps_Guns_Tanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Stem sharks were a pretty strange bunch, and Ray Troll loves to draw 'em: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priory_of_Sion Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Most depictions of helicoprion look retarded. Doesn't this just look right compared to the chainsaw face thing? Troll's depiction at least is better than this: Belesarius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
