@valth, this was something new to me, thanks. the picture of this "fossil" shark is stunning, it looks more like a character from SF movies! Even with our expensive machinery we still find a new species, this is inspiring! 2 thoughts;) 1st, today i somehow read your article with more effort; but it could easily be my sleepy brain who needs a coffee:) 2nd: the comments on your blog are so much more interesting than mine; i usually get some bulsh** like "good my friend", haha, which is exhausting ;) so keep the great work :D

Yeah, it looks really strange to me as well! I find it so cool that we still find new species in the ocean to this day, and there are probably thousands of still undiscovered species down there that we have never observed. My opinion is that we really need to spend more money on marine discovery in the future :)
Hehe, that's often a problem with taxonomy; it is pretty easy to get confused by three or four (scientific) names that are almost identical. I had to spend some time to even grasp which is which of these myself when I wrote this.
Yeah, I love that so many knowledgeable people share their experiences in my comment section. It really adds an extreme amount of value to the post as a whole in my opinion. So thank you so much for taking the time to write good comments, @k-a-s-i-a; it really means a lot to me :D
