NEWS/ OWN RESEARCH
Just published and open access! A new paper from Team Shark-References!
The sample revealed 14 shark and four ray species. We present the first record of fossils assigned to taxa Nanocetorhinus tuberculatus, Deania and Apristurus from Germany. In addition, we describe a hitherto unknown genus and species of shark, Pseudoapristurus nonstriatus gen. et sp. nov., based on fossil teeth.

NEW PARTNERS OF SHARK-REFERENCES:
In September 2008 – exactly 6 years after the start of SHARKPROJECT– the national organisation SHARKPROJECT Germany was founded. Its aim was and continues to be the translation of international activities into national campaigns and promotions. It also runs its own actions and activities, which are aimed at reinforcing and multiplying the key SHARKPROJECT themes of “shark protection and the protection of the marine ecosystem” in Germany. We launched the first major campaign in January 2009 at the Düsseldorf trade fair “BOOT” with “Morituri te Salutant”.

NEWS FROM PARTNERS OF SHARK-REFERENCES:
EEA 2017 CALL FOR PAPERS!
The Dutch Elasmobranch Society is pleased to invite you to the 21st European Elasmobranch Association Scientific Conference from 12th-14th October in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The conference will include a diverse programme of lectures and breakout sessions on key topics in the study of cartilaginous fishes.
This year’s theme will be “The science you need, for the policy you want” to address one of the main objectives of the EEA which is to bridge the gap between scientists and policy makers and thus ensuring management of elasmobranchs is based on the best available science.

7th INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON MESOZOIC FISHES
Systematics and Paleobiogeographic Patterns
1 - 7 August 2017
Mahasarakham, THAILAND
The Palaeontological Research and Education Centre in cooperation with the Faculty of Science of Mahasarakham University (Thailand), the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France), and the Natural History Museum of Geneva (Switzerland) are pleased to announce and host the 7th INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON MESOZOIC FISHES. The meeting is dedicated to reflect the progress in Mesozoic fish research that has been accomplished in the past 25 years since the first meeting in 1993, to discuss old and new methodologies, and to present novel information about the evolution, diversification, and the palaeobiogeography of fishes during the Mesozoic.
Registration should be open November 3rd.

TAXONOMIC NEWS/ NEW SPECIES
Extant Chondrichthyes:
no taxonomic news this month :-)
Extinct Chondrichthyes:
POLLERSPÖCK, J. & STRAUBE, N. (2017): A new deep-sea elasmobranch fauna form the Central Paratethys (Neuhofener Beds, Mitterdorf, near Passau, Germany, Early Miocene, Middle Burdigalian). Zitteliana, 90: 27–53
New genus: Pseudoapristurus
New species: Pseudoapristurus nonstriatus
Abstract: In this study, a diverse fauna of fossil elasmobranch teeth from the Early Miocene (Middle Burdigalian) is analysed. The fossil diversity strongly resembles extant deep-water shark and ray assemblages. The fossils were collected from the Upper Marine Molasse of the lower Ottnangian in the Neuhofener Beds location, Mitterdorf, Germany. The collection site is a clay pit in between the Lower Bavarian villages Fürstenzell and Schmidham. The sample revealed 14 shark and four ray species. We present the first record of fossils assigned to taxa Nanocetorhinus tuberculatus, Deania and Apristurusfrom Germany. In addition, we describe a hitherto unknown genus and species of shark, Pseudoapristurus nonstriatus gen. et sp. nov., based on fossil teeth. The documented diversity is compared to both extant and fossil records of neoselachian deep-water diversities, and it is evident that this Miocene fauna is very similar in composition to indo-pacific deep-water assemblages.
UNDERWOOD, C.J. & CLAESON, K.M. (2017): The Late Jurassic ray Kimmerobatis etchesi gen. et sp. nov. and the Jurassic radiation of the Batoidea. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, in press
New genus: Kimmerobatis
New species: Kimmerobatis etchesi
Abstract: The laminated marine mudstones of the Late Jurassic of Kimmeridge, southern England, yield two exceptionally well-preserved partial skeletons of a previously unrecognised species of early batoid. These are described as a new genus and species, Kimmerobatis etchesi gen. et sp. nov. which has a general “guitarfish” bauplan as in all other batoids known from the Jurassic. This species possesses a combination of primitive characters such as centra present within the majority of the synarcual and antorbital cartilages that fail to reach the pectoral skeleton along with more derived characters, such as the lack of fin spines. Until now, little study has been carried out on the affinities of Jurassic batoids, despite their key role in understanding batoid evolution. Results from parsimony and likelihood phylogenetic reconstruction indicates that the whole-bodied Jurassic batoids Spathobatis, Belemnobatis, and Kimmerobatis gen. nov. form their own clade, Spathobatidae, and do not lend support to a monophyletic “Rhinobatidae”. Among Jurassic batoids, Kimmerobatis gen. nov. is most derived, but with derived characters being independently acquired compared to modern batoids (e.g. presence of a postpelvic process). The inclusion of whole bodied Jurassic fossils have generated a more resolved hypothesis of batoid evolution throughout the Cretaceous and into the Cenozoic.
ENGELBRECHT, A. & MÖRS, T. & REGUERO, M.A. & KRIWET, J. (2017): Eocene squalomorph sharks (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) from Antarctica. Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 78: 175–189
New genus: Eodalatias
New species: Eodalatias austrinalis
Abstract: Rare remains of predominantly deep-water sharks of the families Hexanchidae, Squalidae, Dalatidae, Centrophoridae, and Squatinidae are described from the Eocene La Meseta Formation, Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula, which has yielded the most abundant chondrichthyan assemblage from the Southern Hemisphere to date. Previously described representatives of Hexanchus sp., Squalus weltoni, Squalus woodburnei, Centrophorus sp., and Squatina sp. are confirmed and dental variations are documented. Although the teeth of Squatina differ from other Palaeogene squatinid species we refrain from introducing a new species. A new daliatid taxon, Eodalatias austrinalis gen. et sp. nov. is described. This new material not only increases the diversity of Eocene Antarctic elasmobranchs but also allows assuming that favourable deep-water habitats were available in the Eocene Antarctic Ocean off Antarctica in the Eocene. The occurrences of deep-water inhabitants in shallow, near-coastal waters of the Antarctic Peninsula agrees well with extant distribution patterns.

Shark scavenging helps reveal clues about human remains
- Date: July 19, 2017
- Source: Florida Museum of Natural History
- Summary: Shark feeding habits are helping scientists identify marks on human bones found in the ocean. By analyzing shark scavenging behavior, researchers identified which marks were left behind by sharks, what species of sharks made the marks and where the feedings might have occurred.
