When elasmo.com first went on-line (1996), there was much less reference material available than today, and many of the more important faunas remained unpublished. This website's objective was to better share details of North American shark faunas. More recent additions to this list have become more sophisticated in the scope and content. Certain older pages (i.e. Smoky Hill chalk) need significant updating, while others have been kept current. Creating new faunal pages is now very time-consuming and will be added at a much slower rate than in the past.
