Hi, @bkent – Is the species unnamed or you are uncertain of the identification? I can chime in some of our sharky experts – @vperez @bill-heim @fauve-wilson to share their expertise with you.

Dr. Bretton Kent is a fossil shark expert. He is a professor of paleobiology at the University of Maryland. There is nothing I could add to his information.

Everyone can improve upon their data entry, even experts. I wonder if this has since been published on, @bkent? Let us know and we can link in the publication.
