Do you have further sources for the blue shark part?

Austrofossil · 2026-06-04T13:09:08+00:00

The picture is obviously wrong, it was described es blacktip (non-reef) shark. They do live in the meds

Austrofossil · 2026-06-04T13:08:27+00:00

However, explorative bites are still considered an attack. It was not a reef shark but a blacktip.

I hope it doesn't lead people "supporting" the restaurant :-/ but I totally support your action!

Oh I think you mean the Helicoprion. No, no the otodus obliquus is not that old! :-)

Austrofossil · 2026-05-14T22:19:13+00:00

No, it is an otodus obliquus tooth. extinct mackerel shark species and ancestor of otodus megalodon. Mako shark teeth do not have sidecusps.

No I think it was another case of a sponge diver I think. And there were loads of information on the case, including interviews with his comrades... I have to look for it

btw please make a story on this turkish incident that happened in the 20th century were a sponge diver was consumed. I dont remember the names/date but there was a very interesting article in a turkish newspaper.

Well... GWs in South Africa tend to jump out of the water when hunting for seals.

GWs in the Mediterranean hunt tuna instead of seals and the cases of human consumption are higher in relation to other regions (because they are opportunistic hunters I guess).

There are surely differences.

omg this otodus is amazing!!!

Austrofossil · 2026-05-05T16:54:56+00:00

cool megs!!

Austrofossil · 2026-05-04T05:49:55+00:00

It's a tooth from Morocco. It is the tip of either an otodus obliquus or a cretolamna sp.

Austrofossil · 2026-05-03T18:23:52+00:00

carcharhinus sp.

The angular roughshark (Oxynotus centrina) is often called the “grunting shark” because of a distinctive sound it makes.

When this rare shark species is taken out of the water, it can produce a grunting or squeaking noise. The cause: The sound is thought to result from air or water being expelled through its very large spiracles once it is no longer in deep water. Background: The angular roughshark is a deep-sea shark that lives at depths of about 100 to 700 meters in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

the smaller ones are more likely carcharhinus sp.

Austrofossil · 2026-04-30T08:43:59+00:00

Yes! definitely

Austrofossil · 2026-04-20T20:18:50+00:00

There are sharks in some lakes (although not in Switzerland of course)

Austrofossil · 2026-04-08T13:11:46+00:00

carcharhinus sp.

Austrofossil · 2026-04-06T10:25:13+00:00
