The Prehistoric ‘Shark’ That Used A Sword And Saw | Ornithoprion
The Carboniferous period is usually well known for the invasion and diversification of land tetrapods, the giant arthropods which flourished in the oxygen-rich atmosphere, or even the extensive plant life which created enormous deposits of energy-rich coal, but little attention is often paid to the inhabitants of the sea. Besides the now famous buzzsaw shark, Helicoprion, many other bizarre water dwellers patrolled the seas over the course of this period of time. One such critter was the sword-faced buzzsaw shark, Ornithoprion.

Sharks are aliens
This was another interesting character in the evolutionary history of sharks because sharks are awesome.
I live in Morgan County Indiana and have hundreds of fossils of cynoides and bits of sponge and other unidentifiable bits of late Mississippian shale. Some rocks are completely made of cynoids and shells.
This confirms that aliens are real, I mean it has alien in the name
Arguably among the most popular prehistoric sharks, alongside Helicoprion & Megalodon, just because of its unique jaw layout.. Still, I wonder: what kind of pressures would have driven prehistoric sharks to evolve such jaws!? One of a kind, for sure, but absolutely weird when compared to modern sharks
Half-beaks have similar jaws. They feed at the surface.
Voice change??? Still a great video.
Spear Jawed Chad's! 😂👌
Its possible that a larger portion of the prey were hiding in the mud and were hard-shelled, like trilobites. The fish could have stirred them out of their hiding places for the shark to catch them as they tried to escape by swimming.
They are super popular for a reason. Cool dudes. I Wish more ancient species were known to us.
Does this guy's theme music sound at all like the Ben 10 Alien Force theme?
I would love to see a video of you talking about the new elongated megalodon..
Cool
Shork wek
Not a shark, but a eugeneodontid
