I had this paper where I practiced watercolor blotches on lying around, so I drew one more xenacanthus on it

my 6-year old nephew said his favorite sharks are xenacanthus and helicoprions without missing a beat and he's right these are very cool sharks

Is that xenacanthus?

What's worse than having a Xenacanthus slap your face after catching and releasing it in your birthday?
Having your daughter and close friend remind you of it with a picture, of course!

Hey y'all, it's almost U.S. primary election season so here's your reminder to check and make sure if you're registered to vote!

If you want to see an impactful change, these elections are just as, if not more important, than the ones in November so get out there and vote!

Xenacanthus ✏️

I saw a model of this prehistoric shark in a museum a few months ago and wanted to draw it- finally got around to it recently.

I have this one. Love it. :) It confidently tells us that Stegosaurus flattened its plates down as a defense mechanism, and that it probably then curled up like a hedgehog. Glorious aquatic Brachiosaurus too! Check out Xenacanthus in the back, though. I adore that painting.

Despite Barbclabornia teeth being tiny compared to those of Xenacanthus or Orthacanthus, this Permian aged genus of chondrichthyan is the largest of the xenacanthids. This species lived alongside Orthacanthus compressus and Orthacanthus platypternus.

#shark #fossil #paleontology #barbclabornia
A group of tiny Permian chondrichthyan teeth of Barbclabornia luedersensis from the Wellington Formation in Waurika, Jefferson County, Oklahoma, USA. The lack of a central cusp distinguishes this species from the contemporary xenacanthid, Orthacanthus.

(Psst. For my real fishing sickos- I made a second Legendary Day spreadsheet of only min-maxing info. Fish Eyes, interfering bites, etc. If you know what Miounnefish is and what it has to do with Xenacanthus, this one is for you!)
