and here is the dunkleosteus without the bone overlay for use as reference in life reconstructions
remember the plates are exposed but the flesh around them isnt shrinkwrapped, only the skin overlying the plates

comm for @Baptistar2004 ! and their cool plesiosaur mermaid nessie
its always fun when i get to draw merfolk for a commission, because i get to draw what i like most!

Working in Mersharks clothing!
Using various sources and doing multiple eras, this is the oldest form of clothing Mersharks used to wear, made of rubbery kelp

ANOTHER realistic sharkopath
a descendant of trigonognathus, viper dogfish, that is a high speed pelagic predator with its front teeth adapted into whorls adapted for grabbing and ripping prey similar to mako sharks
using their bioluminescence to speak in an almost language

i got severely distracted today and so i made a little guide on odontocete mouths
baleen whales DO have it go that far back buuuut their jaws are weird as hell

Hey, putting a reminder out to researchers that I do skeletals for commission
If you have a paper that needs a skeletal diagram I’m your woman
2D or 3D my shark anatomy can’t be beat
I’d really appreciate it if you spread the word or refer me to folks who need skeletals

So knowing anatomy can help a decent amount of informing on ecology, at least for general usage in a paleoart context
While basking sharks seem to buck the lamniforme trend and can’t
Megamouths are wild in that they still have it to an extreme degree
And use it like this

While another example, cretoxyrhina, seems to have a smooth jaw contour and likely small orbital process’
This thing likely was jawslinging like a suggested analog, isurus, aka mako
Which makes sense as creoxyrhina is currently a Lamniforme

REMEMBER TO STUDY UO IN YOUR ANATOMY
Using a fossil example
Xenacanths are usually restored with this massive connection between the cranium and jaw,
So it’s likely these guys weren’t shooting their jaws out like a mako

Many sharks aren’t SUPER extreme
Carcharhinids have decent protrusion capabilities; but it seems they don’t expend past the snout
I’d suspect this is just because they aren’t needing to
It seems to work fine enough

With sharks it’s varies from taxa taxa
Here are two sharks, a viper dogfish, and a dogfish of some kind
Notice how the viper protrudes much more
This is likely due to prey capture and processing methods

With batoids it’s due to them having their jaws on Long hyomandibula
This gives them decent mobility and the ability to pivot their jaws side to side
