We assessed the performance of 22 DNA metabarcoding primer sets for detecting 103 species of marine and freshwater bony fishes, elasmobranchs, cephalopods, and crustaceans. We find that a portfolio of four markers targeting 12S, 16S, and multiple regions of COI identifies all reference taxa to family and nearly 60% to species.

A Neoselachian shark from the non-marine Wessex Formation (Wealden Group: early Cretaceous, Barremian) of the Isle of Wight, southern England [PDF]
Bulk screening of Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Wessex Formation strata exposed on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight, southern England, has resulted in the recovery of neoselachian shark teeth referred to the scyliorhinid Palaeoscyllium. These are

Diversification of the Neoselachii (Chondrichthyes) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous [PDF]
The Neoselachii are a monophyletic group including all of the extant sharks and rays. They underwent rapid diversification throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous, going from low-diversity assemblages of members of extinct orders in the Late Triassic to ...
