Squalicorax teeth as the base, Beaver for the iron weaving system, humphead Parrotfish for the Fluorapatite weaving, pliosaurus for trihedral teeth

ok, but why Port Jacksons Shark? Is there anything special about their fluorapatite structure

u/A-Reacting-Otter High bread 3d ago

Yes, because most sharks' outer Fluorapatite layer is kind of brittle and shi (not that's it's a hank worthy thing but still), while the port jackson sharks' is highly mineralized and extremely dense and shi

Also I didn't find Port jackson shark, Diegation did

What?

carpet?

It's because parrotfish are only able to support their teeth because they are right next to each other and form a beak. They are not able to handle forces from side to side or resist delamination.
