Sharks of the Jurassic Oceans

Sharks have been around for a very, very long time. While the dinosaurs rose to dominate the land and diversified during the Jurassic Period, what were the sharks up to?

Protospinax is life changing tbh. It's literally the cutest shark I've ever seen! It's so unfair that they went extinct lol

[@Dacronhai]

good shark videos are one of the major reasons I'm subscribed to this channel :P one small note: At 4:38 you show a horn shark or relative with the subtitle "Cymothoa exigua", which is a parasitic isopod that to my knowledge does not parasitize any chondrichthyans Edit: I've realised that the person who shot that photo calls themselves Cymothoa exigua on Wikipedia (it's the image of the horn shark's wikipedia article), which is a banger name tbh

[@tulliusexmisc2191]

That may be the best edit of a YT comment I've ever seen .

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

The fact that Hybodonts are not sharks annoys me to no end

[@Steve_the_Radroach]

Same, and with Xenocanthiforms and related groups as well. One of the reasons Shark evolution is so convoluted to read about (In my opinion) is you'll get different authors referring to shark like Chondrichthyans as sharks, and others who only use sharks to refer to Selachimorpha. I remember how "disappointed" I was when I found out that sharks hadn't existed since the Devonian period, and "only" since the Mesozoic

[@SiqueScarface]

To me, shark evolution always looked like a play between a pro shark protagonist and an anti shark antagonist, a prosharkonist and an antisharkonist. Prosharkonist: Hey look! I made a shark from Cladoselaches! Antisharkonist sends the Late Devonian extinction. Prosharkonist: Hey look! I made a shark from Ctenacanthiformes! Antisharkonist sends the Great Dying. Prosharkonist: Hey look! I made a shark from Eugeneodontidii! Antisharkonist sends the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. Prosharkonist: Hey look! I made a shark from Hybodontiformes! Antisharkonist shoots a meteorite into Yucatan.

[@Steve_the_Radroach]

@@SiqueScarface But isn't Cladoselache a part of Holocephalii, rather than Elasmobranchii? And while the others are Elasmobranchs, none are "actual" sharks, the closest would be Hybodonts which are a sister group to Neoselachians

Imagine finding a Megalodon Impression in one of these quarry layers! How amazing would that be!

[@KellyClowers]

Not really. Would be like finding a rabbit in terrestrial Jurassic layers. Would have to be a hoax, or a case of erosion and new deposit on top and you missed where the transition was. Or you misidentified the fossil and it wasn't actually a rabbit/megalodon.

[@M_Alexander]

I'm not sure I've ever heard someone discuss fossilized shark bodies or skeletons. And I mean I know there are rare soft tissue fossils of a lot of other things so I figured there must be some sharks but nobody talks about them

Here IO thought this was going to be a review of the terrible movie Jurassic Shark

[@DAVIDPETERS12C]

Protospinax is basal to Pristis, the saw shark, also Rhinobatos, the guitarfish, then Raja, the skate among others. On the other hand, Protospinax is a sister to Heterodontus, which is basal to the clade that includes Squatina the angelshark, Sphyrna the hammerhead, and Rhincodon the whale shark.

[@Shatterverse]

Dude don't encourage TikTok use. Vertical videos suck and short form is cancer for attention spans.

[@JonPITBZN]

The bigger problem with short form videos is that they pretty much force you to use autoplay, nobody who watches them is curating their content. You're watching whatever the algorithm wants you to watch. That's bad on KZbin where the algorithm sucks, and it's worse on TikTok, where the algorithm actively serves the interests of the fascist government of China

[@nemeziz12]

No wonder we have rising sea levels, when Bee decides to go snorkling with her huge, massive mega-balls.

[@Aerostarm]

What?

[@mr.k7457]

Sharks are older than trees

[@Andrey.Ivanov]

They are not really. It's a common misconception caused by the fact that people often lump other shark-like cartilaginous fish under the term shark. The clade which contains true sharks emerged somewhere between the Early Permian and Early Jurassic (the range is so wide due to uncertainties in the exact classification of the earliest possible remains).

[@PathSythe]

I want to love you bee but I cant handle 5he voice cracking 😢

[@BlueBirdsProductions]

Bruv seriously change the channel name or stop getting other hosts on. Theyre on more often than you but the channel is still just your name!

[@KellyClowers]

Did you say at the very start that sharks "likely" first evolved long before the dinosaurs? That's about the strangest use of "likely" I have heard in a while!

[@Andrey.Ivanov]

True sharks are members of the clade Selachimorpha. The earliest definite remains of such are from the Early Jurassic, but it's suspected that they may have appeared earlier based on possible members dating back to the Early Permian. All other prehistoric cartilaginous fish that are in a broad sense lumped under the term "shark" but are outside of this clade are not true sharks as they diverged from the lineage leading to to them before the common ancestor of all modern species of sharks.

[@julesgosnell9791]

Sounds normal to me - maybe a British English thing....

[@JohnyG29]

What's strange about that?!

[@KellyClowers]

@@Andrey.Ivanov Huh. In that case I would have expected something like "true sharks likely evolved long before the dinosaurs" or something. With just "sharks" I would expect the meaning of Elasmobranchii or even Chondrichthyes

[@KellyClowers]

@@Andrey.Ivanov but that does make more sense now, thanks

[@derekk8523]

Shark chick is good

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

Sharks didn’t evolve in the Paleozoic, they evolved in the Jurassic, so they’ve only survived 1 mass extinction, the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.

[@JohnyG29]

Actually, I believe the first evidence we have of true sharks is from the Permian.

[@nickporter4279]

It's an important distinction. People assume that sharks are more resilient than they are, under the assumption that the lineage has survived multiple ...(insert Buffy joke)... apocalypsees? But in reality, they are quite vulnerable. Quite the opposite of being multi-extinction survivors, over 90% of the Pacific population was wiped out during the Miocene, for reasons that remain unclear, and they still haven't fully recovered. Many species breed quite slowly, and take a *long* time to reach maturity. There's only so much pressure that the group can be put under, especially the larger members, and we're in great danger of losing them. It's a conservation problem if people think that isn't a possibility.

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

@@nickporter4279 Selachimorphs (Sharks) evolved in the early Jurassic, before that you had things that were Shark like things like Hybodus & Helicoprion, but they’re not Sharks.
