Curious about shark anatomy? The dogfish shark, a member of the class Chondrichthyes, is a popular dissection specimen in general biology and anatomy courses. It is useful for learning about cartilaginous fish and for studying comparative and vertebrate anatomy. Join us as an ELANCO staff member dissects a dogfish shark specimen in front of a live audience with a Q&A session afterwards. Build your STEM knowledge by learning basic concepts of anatomy, organ structure & function, similarities and differences among species (especially sharks & humans), dissection techniques, and more. Program is for teens and adults, and registration is required.
