Drop into The Wonder Cabinet and meet Documentation Officer, Dr Aodhán Ó Gogáin, for his talk on the history of sharks through their teeth.
Sharks are often portrayed as voracious top predators that have remained unchanged since before the dinosaurs. However, when we look at the fossil record of these animals and their relations we find a completely different story. This talk will trace the natural history of cartilaginous fish. By looking at fossils of sharks and their relations, which mostly consist of teeth, spines and scales, with some rarer complete body fossils, the complete and complex story of these animals comes to light.
No booking required. Places are limited and on a first come, first served basis. Wheelchair accessible.
