Falcatus
''Falcatus'' is an extinct genus of Falcatidae which lived during the early Carboniferous Period in Bear Gulch bay and what is now Montana. ==Description==
It was a 25–30 cm or 10-12 inches long "cladodont-toothed stethacanthid shark" 〔http://www.sju.edu/research/bear_gulch/pages_fish_species/Falcatus_falcatus.php Fossil Fish of Bear Gulch 2005 by Richard Lund and Eileen Grogan Accessed 2009-01-14〕 The first material known from the genus were the prominent fin spines that curved anteriorly over the head of the animal. When first described in 1883 from the St. Louis Limestone, these remains were given the name ''Physonemus falcatus''. However, in 1985, fossils of a new type of condrichthyan from Montana were described that displayed a high degree of sexual dimorphism. The same spines that were previously named ''P. falcatus'' were found on one of the morphs, identified as the male due to the presence of valvae.
