Description: STUNNING SHARK TEETH SCAPANORHYNCHUS GOBLIN PREHISTORIC SEA PREDATOR MARINE REPTILE FROM MOROCCO Size : 2,36 / 6 inch / cm Scapanorhynchus is an extinct genus of mackerel sharks that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, particularly in the Maastrichtian age (approximately 72 to 66 million years ago). These sharks are considered to be early relatives of the modern goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni). Scapanorhynchus sharks had long, flattened snouts and sharp teeth adapted for catching soft-bodied prey, resembling the unique appearance of today's goblin sharks. The modern goblin shark, sometimes referred to as a "living fossil," shares many similarities with its ancient ancestors. It is deep-sea dwelling and rarely encountered, making it one of the most mysterious shark species alive today. Megalodon Teeth in the Maastrichtian Context While the famous Otodus megalodon (commonly referred to as Megalodon) lived millions of years after the Maastrichtian, its teeth are often compared with other fossil sharks for their sheer size and iconic serrated edges. Megalodon teeth, some of the largest known fossilized shark teeth, showcase the evolutionary adaptations of apex predators in marine ecosystems. These teeth are key to studying the lineage of mackerel sharks, connecting prehistoric species like Scapanorhynchus to later dominant predators. This connection highlights the evolutionary history and diversity of sharks from the Cretaceous period to the modern era. ●Dear Customers, you will receive exactly the same item which you see on the pictures, not similar or other. ●We pack it well so that it reaches you in the best condition ●Please feel free to message with any questions!! ●Thank you for visiting us.
