TABLE 3. A comparison of the Venice Elasmobranch Assemblage with other Miocene and Early Pliocene elasmobranch assemblages reported from the USA. For Onslow Bay and the Nutrien Mine: M = Miocene; P = Pliocene; * = identified to only the genus level or different species name utilized; † = globally extinct species.

TABLE 4. A comparison of the Venice Elasmobranch Assemblage with late Miocene, Miocene–Pliocene, and Pliocene elasmobranch assemblages from Central and South America. Note that taxonomic diversity is highly variable among assemblages, some species names have since been revised, and diversity differences may stem from taxonomic splitting and lumping. † = globally extinct species.
