paleonet student's request

[kmonsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear all,

A student of mine will undertake a work to complete a BSc thesis
provisionally titled: "The phylogeny of sharks, based on morphological
data from Recent and fossil forms and on molecular data". Could anyone on
the list suggest what good starting points are for a student to search
literature on such a topic. The student is a biologist specialising in
vertebrate zoology. His knowledge on geology is probably limited, but not
much will be needed for this project. The thesis work will be mainly
literature-based, the student (most probably) won't include new specimens
or analysis in his thesis. Thanks in advance.

Ken.
