Rostral and body shape analyses reveal cryptic diversity of Late #Jurassic #batomorphs (#Chondrichthyes, #Elasmobranchii) from Europe: Julia Türtscher et al. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/spp2.1552

"They examined 52 #fossil rays from the #LateJurassic period. These rays are 150 million years old, from a time when Europe was largely covered by the sea, except for a few islands, comparable to today's Caribbean."

Rays were more diverse 150 million years ago than previously thought

In a new study published in the journal Papers in Palaeontology, an international team of scientists led by paleobiologist Julia Türtscher from the University of Vienna has explored the puzzling world of rays that lived 150 million years ago and discovered a previously hidden diversity—including a new ray species. This study significantly expands the understanding of these ancient cartilaginous fish and provides further insights into a past marine ecosystem.

I just think that if we knew more about the oceans we could find a shark capable of eating George Santos in a single bite.

Le squalelet féroce est un tout petit #requin profond, assez rare, mais salement vorace! Il a une distribution circumtropicale et maintenant sa propre fiche sur DORIS :

I've had to pare everything down since moving into this apartment, but I used to have a collection of out-of-date marine science books.
