Ghose, tia. “Ancient nursery of bizarre spoon-billed sharks discovered” 10 Jan. 2014. Fox News. web. 10 Jan. 2014. <http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/01/10/ancient-nursery-bizarre-spoon-billed-sharks-discovered/>
This article talks about how they have proof of a ancient shark nursery. Also they have found a different species of sharks. Also it talks about the living areas and about fossilized shark eggs
I find this so interesting because we were talking about extinct sharks in biology. I also think that sharks are very interesting. Also the information suggest ancient sharks spent their lives in distinct locations which is the complete opposite of what I thought.
These sharks have long snouts. They also amazingly they found the shark eggs and shark babies all in one place. It is crazy how scientist can find extinct species and learn so much about it.
What is the author’s point of view, and how does it impact the overall effect of the text?
The authors point of view is just to inform the reader. Since the point it to just inform the reader it makes the text a little boring. Even though the text is boring it still is interesting. The author says things like “The eggs and hatchlings were found only in the Mazon Creek site” (Tia Ghose) which proves that the point of view is very informative and factual. Therefore the text is very informative but kinda boring.
I liked your topic, it was interesting to me as well. I find the picture very interesting also. The question I'm guessing is all blocked out in white and made this hard to read. Why do sharks interest you? What would have made the article more interesting to you?
