The extinct shark #Ptychodus had amazing "tiles" for teeth; they abutted one another inside the jaw, enabling the shark to eat hard prey, likely shelled mollusks. These bony tooth nodules had ridges for grip, central bumps (probably) for pressure points to crush shells, and were also quite beautiful to look at! @nhmu #paleontology #scicomm #science #usofscience #biology #zoology #geology #fossil #fossils #elasmobranchology #nhmu #naturalhistorymuseum #naturalhistorymuseumofutah #utah #saltlakecity #shark #sharks #marinebiology (at Natural History Museum of Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpyQBwkgJVv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=suojy5d981ce

I enjoyed the novel (and read it nearly a decade ago, before people ever saw the Discovery Channel hoax mockumentary), this comic is meh so far (and nicely called BS on its own book-inspired cover, but in the space of two pages spells the shark species name differently), but the movie...can't bring myself to watch it so far. I don't even want to give them my money. The trailer alone gave me high blood pressure. #meg #stevealten #scifi #sciencefiction #megalodon #carcharodonmegalodon #carcharoclesmegalodon #otodusmegalodon #cmegalodon #shark #sharks #comics #comicbooks #elasmobranch #elasmobranchology #selachimorpha #marinebiology #paleontology #biology #zoology #animals #animal #fossil #fossils #dinosaur #dinosaurs

I lost the game (thanks to not being the one to get Feeding Frenzy aka Free Parking), but is being able to do #scicomm EVER anything but a win? #sharks #shark #science #elasmobranchology #elasmobranch #marinebiology #science #scicomm #biology #ocean #sea #sharkopoly #monopoly #games #boardgames #strategygames #analoggames #tabletopgames https://www.instagram.com/p/B00A9UqBya7/?igshid=1nvm07sc8t5vg

Ah yes, 'tis a painful time of year. Plus, everyone loves asking me if I'm watching, I say no, they ask why, I answer, they become angry (showing their emotional ties to entertainment rather than logical loyalty to the truth)...rinse and repeat. Such a fun time. #sharkweek #sharks #shark #scicomm #science #biology #zoology #animal #animals #usofscience #marinebiology #elasmobranchology #elasmobranch #ocean #sea #discoverychannel

Plans For College I Guess?

Okay so I plan on going to Eckerd University down in Florida for Marine Biology. I was originally planing on going to University of Southeast Alaska but my mom and I talked and said Eckerd would be the best bet. If I am able to get in then that's great and I can go about a career as a marine biologist or better yet a career in elasmobranchology because of my love of sharks.

For those of you who don't know what elasmobranchology is it is the study of sharks and rays.
