Our work on the histology and mineralization patterns of 3 Devonian chondrichthyan taxa from Morocco is finally out now! I am very happy to share this work and hope there will be more to come about early shark tooth histology!
Thanks to all my co-authors, especially Hector Botella!

New #ScienceCommunication website blog from me. Here, I reflect on a framework inferring ecological traits from shark teeth from my PhD & look at 2 fascinating studies that took it further than even I thought possible 🦈

As my very first post here on Bluesky I am happy to share our article in Royal Society about tooth wear and diet in the large Devonian chondrichthyan Ctenacanthus concinnus from Morocco
