'Paralyzer' BP50 Blueprint with Bioluminescence Tracers and Pelagic Dismemberment

Saw glimpses of this before and I'm excited it's now out: new articulated Ptychodus skeletons from Late Cretaceous Mexico! Confirms that they were pelagic fast-swimming lamniforms, as some had already astutely speculated
