Description

Orthacanthus bohemicus. Pencil, 2010.

This is reconstruction of the specimen NMMNH P-20406 which is representing a juvenile individual. If anyone has some complaints about the proportions of the shark keep in mind that this is not an adult specimen thus the proportions are probably different.

References: The reconstruction is based on skeletal drawing from "Recent Advances in the Origin and Early Radiation of Vertebrates".
As additional references were used artworks by :icondustdevil: from the book "Les Requins sont-ils des fossiles vivants ?" (also some artworks from his DA gallery). Wikipedia's reconstruction of Orthacanthus by :iconntamura: served as secondary reference image.
