A new study on the teeth of extinct sand tiger sharks Striatolamia macrota and Carcharias spp. has provided the first estimate of Eocene (50 million years ago) salinity for the western Arctic Ocean. This image shows the extant sand tiger shark Carcharias taurus. Image credit: Richard Ling / CC BY-SA 2.0. The study, published in the journal Geology, indicates that these Eocene sharks were thriving in the brackish water of the western Arctic Ocean. In contrast, modern sand tiger sharks living today in the Atlantic Ocean are very intolerant of low salinity, requiring three times the saltiness of the Eocene sharks in order to survive. “This study…

Dinosaurs evolved a remarkable diversity of dietary adaptations throughout the Mesozoic era, but the origins of different feeding modes are uncertain. Feeding habits of early dinosaurs have mostly been inferred from comparisons of jaw morphology with living analogs. By looking at the tooth shapes of the earliest dinosaurs and simulating their tooth function with computational modeling, University of Bristol paleontologists were able to compare them to living reptiles and their diets. The findings show that many groups of plant-eating dinosaurs were ancestrally omnivorous and that the ancestors of long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs ate meat; this ability to diversify their diets early…
