Shout-out to Bill Simpson for his help in the production of this video and lending us the fossilized shark specimens for the shoot!

We want to thank Ray Troll (trollart.com/) for generously allowing us to incorporate his incredible illustrations in this video!

The Idaho Museum of Natural History and the Idaho Virtualization Laboratory at Idaho State University is doing awesome work and they let us use the CT-scan of their Helicoprion for this episode, which we are very grateful for.

Special thanks to David Shiffman (@whysharksmatter) for his help, support, advice, and fun facts about sharks!

Additional thanks to Joe Hanson (itsokaytobesmart) and the folks at PBS Digital Studios for helping to put this great series together. :)
