On the third episode of the Elasmocast podcast, host Ben Goode is joined by renowned paleontologist JP Hodnett, where they discuss his latest publication that describes two new ancient shark relatives belonging to the extinct group known as the ctenacanths: Troglocladodus trimblei and Glikmanius careforum. In addition to this, they delve into the mysteries of Paleozoic cartilaginous fish evolution and the apex predators that ruled the ancient oceans of that time, plus much, much more!
