I did back in 2012. It was my undergraduate project.

I did. Got it published from work I did as an undergrad. Now we have some specimens that are bigger than the type suggesting Kaibabvenator was possibly even bigger. Around 28-30 feet or so.
But to answer your question about my favorite ctenacanthiform shark its actually one I am finishing describing from New Mexico that is new to science, but its only 7 feet long.

Oh, okay. I was just purposefully missing the point with that question because your gallery is filled with Kaibabvenator stuff.
