Cartilaginous fish ≠ sharks. Sharks aren’t older than trees, but the larger group which includes the ancestors of true sharks is. There are still extant descendants of these earlier diverging cartilaginous fish, the chimeras which aren’t sharks. The oldest known sharks (the clade Selachii) are from about 200 million years ago during the Early Jurassic. Similarly you wouldn’t call a T. rex a bird even though they all belong to Dinosauria.
@@drjekyllmshyde exactly. It’s the same mistake people make all the time with crocodiles by calling all of Pseudosuchia crocodilians, giving the impression crocodilians are a much older group of animals than they actually are.
You’re right-- cartilaginous fish encompass a wider range of species beyond just sharks, including chimeras and skates. but how do paleontologists use fossil evidence to trace the development and diversification of these species over millions of years?
I would ADORE if you gave us a link to that song at the end! I know it's a remix of a song associated with some old VHS Dinosaur documentaries I watched as a kid.
Listracanthus has always been a favorite of mine. Ever since I have found their scales, and learned of their story in 2019 I have been trying to track down pieces of this wonderful animal. About a week ago, I found a fragmentary body section with 1 type 1 listracanthus scale and mostly type 2 scales similar to the ones in the paper seen at 18:05 Funny enough I have found 1 small crusher tooth less than a mm close to the fragment, but I also found a conodont tooth in the scale mass so it is most likely float from someother animal. Plus it was a very thin body portion probably far from the mouth. Never know, though! Edit: Turns out is was a broken and malformed conodont tooth, which is sad, but that happens. I knew it was too small but the scale mass is still listracanthus with 150+ scales.
Why does the intro horn need to be twice as loud as the rest of the video? Are you trying to evoke the hatred I feel for streaming companies and how their commercials are twice as loud as the show I probably fell asleep watching? If so, you're nailing it.
one tip the german pronunsitions are way-------y of. next time try to prenounce it more like spanish spanish letter pronounsiation is much closer to german than english. you dont haye to get it perfect but the words should in my oppion at least be recocnisible. to not increas worklode just try spanish it is a much better bet to pronunce words corectly than english is for most lenguages
It's crazy that "feathered" sharks might have been a thing and nobody talks about it
IKR, they are so cool.

Listracanthus is another interesting character in the evolutionary history of sharks.
Add to list of "why isn't there a Pokemon based on this creature yet?!"

Thanks a lot for creating & sharing this!

All sharks are cartilaginous fish, not all cartilaginous fish are sharks. 🦈

great video!
Ayyy a local mention, I’m from Ashton-under-Lyne! Just a quick note Dukinfield is pronounced ‘duck-in-field’ 😂

Sharks aren't fish, birds are Dinosaurs, snakes are lizards, I'm beginning to get confused!!! 😀😀😀
Taxonomy am i right?
Right you are. Things have changed a lot in the 50 odd years since I did Zoology at college!
And of course Phylogenetics. Plate tectonics wasn't even a know thing when I was a callow youth and of course all dinosaurs were tail daggers!
Awesome!
Yay!!! New EDGE video!!!! 😊😊😊
I have a paper on a trilobite published in acta paleontologica polonica!!! First time I’ve heard the journal mentioned
I would love to work with you to get a video done on your paper! Please send me an email! Expeditiondiscoveryguild@gmail.com
I think you shouldn't use that animated crumpled paper background. It's just distracting.
Nice
is this a reupload? I swear I saw this a couple of months ago
But are they smooth

Fish are real! You just happen to be one
Maybe one day, we'll get to see if the spiny eel shark holds true.
Interesting video, but I'm admittedly disappointed expecting a shark with multiple backbones (spines).
