Three-dimensional fossils of a Cretaceous collared carpet shark (Parascylliidae, Orectolobiformes) shed light on skeletal evolution in galeomorphs [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceA rich fossil record of teeth shows that many living shark families’ origins lie deep in the Mesozoic. Skeletal fossils of the sharks to whom these teeth belonged are far rarer and when they are preserved are often flattened, hindering understanding of ...

Habitat Availability, Jurassic and Cretaceous Origins of the Deep-Bodied Shark Morphotype and the Rise of Pelagic Sharks. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe find support for a benthic origin of sharks, with four discrete transitions towards pelagic‐type morphology occurring during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Increased habitat availability driven by biotic and abiotic environmental change may have driven shifts towards pelagic‐type morphology. These results may help explain discordance between molecular

The Phenomenon of Piebaldism in Sharks: A Review of Global Sightings and Patterns. [PDF]
Ecol EvolChromatic disorders like piebaldism—a rare form of leucism causing partial pigment loss—have been documented in 25 wild shark cases across 17 species and 11 families, with varying anatomical distribution. This study compiles published and unpublished records to better understand the taxonomic and geographical spread of piebaldism and its potential ...
