We ran a huge experiment to find out how ecological context favours camouflage and warning colouration as antipredator strategies. 1/6

Enjoy this classic, broken megalodon tooth from Scheuchzer's collection for this #FossilFriday - & prints of it from his books Piscium queruleae (1708; centre) & Physica sacra (1731; right). Both prints include a line to show/reconstruct the shape the whole tooth would have had. #SciArt #EarlyModern
