You gotta give it to those Mexican Paleontologists; They really crushed it.

How anyone could recognise that tooth as a shark tooth at all is impressive.

[PsychoticBear]

Imagine being a turtle minding your own business when suddenly you are being crushed like a tin can.

Ptychotis: I’m gonna grow flat teeth.
Herbivores: to become an Herbivore right?
Ptychotis:………
Herbivores: To be an Herbivore right!?

Shark that looks like grandma without dentures in.

An extinct ancient shark that preferred crunchy snacks.

And some got absolutely massive, bigger than the biggest Great Whites, these were the first giant true sharks, before even the likes of Cretoxyrhina.

Shark that's actually built to eat hard shell creatures. Old shark meta must have been broken before the nerf

"What's this?"

"A whaaaa?"

Lamniformes were pretty diverse and successful during Cretaceous period, now Ptychodus taxonomic scrutiny is settled and is robustly supported to be a Lamniforme, it further enhances the orders ecological diversity.

"Prehistory Shark Update" holy shit.that's.an epic.phrase.

[pure_sorcerer]

tbh the fact they're the only ones with this niche that we know of makes sense since that was the only time period where hard shelled mobile animals made up a big portion of marine life

[mister_noober]

he looks like a good boy we should time travel to the past and give him pets :D

[FrikInCasualMode]

Incredible find! Uncovering more than just shark teeth is like winning a lottery.

[thebookwitch]

Perfect timing, given that i just watched your video on deep sea sharks!!!

[loganparis]

We got a confirmed prehistoric shark body before GTA6
