There's other forms of evidence, like CT scans that have uncovered cartilaginous remains forming jaws, that have indicated decently well how they were attached to the shark's mouth.

Fuckin' dork fish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG3dzXPU8eo Sorry for redneck comedy tour, but for the last 20 years every fish that has a dumb face (all fish), I think about this bit. Wasabi the J has a new favorite as of 06:46 on Jul 23, 2021 |

I don't really understand how the circular jaw would work. Unless the lower jaw moves back and forth.

I am doing a PhD in Prehistoric Marine Biology and the teeth actually rotate on a 360 degree ball socket, what you are looking at is the world's first pizzaiolo with built-in pizza cutter

How does the normal opening-closing action of a e: "draw" ? Why the hell did I write "draw" ? Lady Disdain has a new favorite as of 13:50 on Jul 23, 2021 |

On that note, does anyone have a link to that guy who's basically Danny MacAskill on skis ? In one of his videos, he gets towed along by a horse for a bit, and it ends with him skiing onto a lake and getting picked up by a helicopter (I think).

cakesmith handyman posted:Dunking on a shark with a loving circular saw for a jaw, let's see your evolutionary speciality then bud. Goofy looking things are often the most dangerous. I had a buddy that was 6'4" and 140 lbs. Looked like a concentration camp victim. He was like fighting a spider. I was 6', 245lbs. I could pick him up like a baby and throw him like he was nothing if he were to let me. He'd beat me most of the time wrestling. He was all limbs. Couldn't get a grip on him. Significant advantage. I'm a good wrestler, with weight in my favor, with a strong grip and big arms. But he had reach. Point being, adaptation doesn't make sense sometimes. If it works, it works. If you want a Rolodex of teeth and it works, go nuts.

She looked like she was digging real deep in the last few kms. It was really cool to watch The riders behind her didn't know she was out ahead because there was no race radio, unlike normal tour events that they ride

She's amazing, and her win is incredible. But other than that, as someone who knows nothing about cycling, what really amazed me is that the peloton managed to catch up on that 10 minute lead. I'm sure it's something to do with flying-duck-formations and aerodynamics and teamwork (and maybe it's not that unusual in cycling  ), but 10 minutes sounds to me like an insane amount of catching up.

This allows you to keep your legs relatively fresh than that person out there on their own. So it becomes less a matter of them gaining 10 minutes on the lead person and more a matter of the lead person slowing down at a much faster rate as they are worn out faster.
