@BranArtworks If you are OK with drawing a fossil shark, I’d like to go with Cretalamna bryanti which is described from teeth collected in Alabama at the museum’s fossil site. It's also named in honor of the Bryant family for their support of the university & my museum.

#FossilFriday Part of the teeth used to describe the Late Cretaceous shark species Cretalamna bryanti from Alabama by Ebersole & Ehret (@DrDanaEhret) in 2018.
@CoastalPaleo @TetZoo They do not use Cretalamna for their estimation, who presents the teeth associated with a complete skeleton. It had been considered as a Cretoxyrhinidae, but is now an Otodontidae. The article was neither cited nor consulted.
