    I Know Paleo Episode 39: Crocodylomorphs part 1

    We first covered pseudosuchians in episode 8 of I Know Paleo patreon.com/posts/i-know-paleo-8-92607187 In that episode we mostly talked about the Triassic forms, but pseudosuchians (at least the crocodylomorphs) survived the Triassic-Jurassic extinction and are even still around today. This time, we cover some of the coolest Neosuchians (the aptly named "new crocodiles") Featured Creatures include: Terrestrisuchus (Late Triassic): A very small generalist predator found in what are now the British Isles Aegisuchus (Late Cretaceous): A very large flat-headed crocodylomorph nicknamed "shield croc" from what is now Morocco Sarcosuchus (Early Cretaceous): Another very big crocodylomorph, this one may have even eaten herbivorous dinosaurs Deinosuchus (Late Cretaceous): A huge alligatorid that has been found all over the U.S. and Mexico. It had a very strong bite and may have lived up to 50 years. Fun Fact: There are over 700 known species of pseudosuchians. Most of them were put together in a beautiful family tree by Alexander Payne, Phillip Mannion and others at https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-023-02244-0

    DD13: The Morrison Formation

    The Morrison Formation is arguably the most prolific and famous dinosaur-bearing formation (maybe after the Hell Creek). It has some of the most well known dinosaurs, and not coincidentally was also the site of many Bone Wars skirmishes between Cope & Marsh. The Morrison Formation was quite a stable ecosystem (for millions of years) Baby sauropods were probably a major food source for other dinosaurs in the Morrison Formation

    I Know Paleo Episode 38: Prehistoric Sharks

    We go through six major groups of sharks that evolved in the Jurassic (or earlier): Hexanchiformes: Includes frilled sharks and cow sharks. They have 6 (or 7) gill slits instead of the usual 5, give live birth, and some modern species look remarkably similar to their fossil ancestors (making them "living fossils"). Heterodontiformes (Bullhead sharks): Named for their two types of teeth—sharp front teeth for grabbing and flat rear teeth for crushing hard-shelled prey. They lay "auger" style spiral-shaped eggs that wedge into tight spaces. Orectolobiformes (Carpet sharks): Named for their ornate tapestry appearance. Many are camouflaged bottom-dwellers, like the tasseled wobbegong, which hides on the seafloor to ambush prey. Carcharhiniformes (Ground sharks): The largest group with over 270 species (roughly half of all living sharks). Named for their streamlined "sharp nose". Today, this group includes tiger sharks, hammerheads, and catsharks, but they hadn't evolved yet in the Mesozoic. Squatiniformes: Flat-bodied, bottom feeders with almost ray-like fins. They evolved into modern angelsharks during the Cretaceous. They have specialized gill flaps and can bury themselves in sediment for up to 10 days waiting for prey. Lamniformes (Mackerel sharks) — The group includes megalodon, great whites, makos, goblin sharks, and large filter feeders like the megamouth & basking sharks. They likely evolved in the Jurassic or very Early Cretaceous. Featured Creatures include true sharks as well as shark like fish: Xenacanthus (Carboniferous/Permian): small freshwater fish known for a big spine coming out of its head Stethacanthus (Devonian/Carboniferous): Weirdo with an "anvil-shaped" fin on its back Helicoprion (Permian): Even weirder shark with a giant whirl of teeth in its mouth Scapanorhynchus (Cretaceous): Creepy goblin-shark looking apex predator Cretoxyrhina (Cretaceous): Nicknamed the "ginsu shark" for its sharp teeth with extra enamel
