Wow, this is a wonderful article, very complete yet concise and too the point. Great pictures. In some it certainly does not look like a shark. What incredible teeth. One thing I wonder. What does this meant: "The very long jaws are positioned terminally at the tip of the snout"? Even with the picture I cannot tell what it means, but it must be an important feature.

 * "terminally" here literally means "at the tip of the snout". Would putting parentheses around it be better? -- Yzx (talk) 16:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Does the placement of the jaws at the tip of the snout have some significance? I take it that's unusual? Does it have any implications as far as function goes? Xtzou ( Talk ) 16:31, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It's unusual in that most sharks have underslung jaws. As for function, it likely relates to feeding but nobody's seen that so it's all speculation. -- Yzx (talk) 16:40, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "Underslung" means attached below somehow, I gather. I can see there is a lot to know about sharks. No problem with the article. It is excellent in my eyes. Xtzou ( Talk ) 17:11, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
