@ausar_the 4/4 It’s your comparison with Prognathodon that gives me that specific impression. Cutting edges may aid incision, but that doesn’t establish superior dismemberment capabilities or rule out shearing during occlusion.

[Ampersand26 @Amaranth8p6]

@ausar_the 3/3 Your wording also gives me the impression you’re downplaying Livyatan’s specialization for macropredation. Are you arguing that interlocking teeth primarily evolved for gripping and not crushing, or that their occlusion couldn’t contribute significantly to shearing?

it's over for I have portrayed you as the soy kegsbreath while i am the cool and collected talafreako

[Ampersand26 @Amaranth8p6]

@ausar_the Ok so let me ask: do you specifically disagree specifically with Lambert et al.’s interpretation of the vertical occlusal wear facets as evidence of shearing, or with Peri et al.’s proposed posterior-tooth cutting mechanism in Zygophyseter?

[Ampersand26 @Amaranth8p6]

@ausar_the I mean, Prognathodon, especially P. saturate had very fine serrations on very conical teeth, nowhere near the pseudoziphodont and laterally compressed teeth we see in T. bernardi or Khinjaria.

A reminder to the Depp-loving crowd, he was already being shown the door by studios even before the Amber Heard stuff because his performances got lazy and his schtick was tired! Audiences AND critics were tired of him!

Suko’s height: 45 meters
Godzilla’s height: 50.1 meters
King Ghidorah’s height: 70 meters

@ausar_the I mean considering the dental overlap I doubt that Prognathodon and Zygophyseter’s apparatus would be too different. I don’t anything from the Physeretoid dentition we have implies a Great White-esque dentition or bite style

[Ampersand26 @Amaranth8p6]

@ausar_the I mean isn’t that the case for something like Prognathodon or most Pliosaurs?

There’s a reason Soviet Moscow had bus fares too, and the biggest city in the world with free busses is Belgrade: it tends to destroy public service thanks to lost revenue, and it doesn’t get people to stop driving cars https://t.co/0osG2BgVYj

I am not kidding when I say the Skyrim soundtrack always brings tears to my eyes. This game will always have my heart.

@badwald @tomal_cetology True, but if that’s the case, then if the rostral node came from an Otodontid it would either be an early stage fetal Otodus or newborn Parotodus.

[Ampersand26 @Amaranth8p6]

@badwald @tomal_cetology True, regardless, if it were either Otodus or Parotodus, we’d have to determine whether or not it was a basal condition or a derived condition exclusive to that genus. Add onto that just how mineralized it is for such a small shark(1.5m estimates from Greenfield)
