A New Research Paper on a Shark from the Solnhofen Archipelago

The Lauer Foundation participated in a project that resulted in the research paper:  Stumpf, Sebastian, Türtscher, Julia, López-Romero, Faviel, Villalobos-Segura, Eduardo, Begat, Arnaud, Amadori, Manuel, Dearden, Richard, Lauer, Bruce, Lauer, René, Hecker, Andreas & Kriwet, Jürgen. 2026. Reappraisal of the extinct barbelthroat shark Bavariscyllium and the nebulous orgin of carcharhinfrom galeomorphs. Communications Biology (2026)9:158.  https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-025-09272-5

The Lauer Foundation has one of five specimens of Bavariscyllium tischlingeri, and one of two figured. The shark is named after our good friend Dr. Helmut Tischlinger.
