Ancient Shark Genus Tychotus Unearthed in Mexico
Complete fossils of the ancient shark genus Tychotus found in Mexico reveal a massive predator that was around 33 feet in length, with teeth suited for grinding hard-shelled prey. The discovery shifted previous assumptions about the shark's diet towards larger ammonites and sea turtles, suggesting it was a fast swimmer preying on such animals. Competition from new marine reptile species like mosasaurs likely led to the extinction of the Tychotus, providing concrete knowledge about the creature.
