Godzilla shark fossil found in NM

A 300 million-year-old shark fossil discovered in New Mexico is the most complete fossil from the ctenacanth family ever found in North America and represents an entirely new species. (Courtesy of New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science) Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal Scientists humorously refer to it as the “Godzilla shark,” a newly discovered species whose fossilized remains were found in the Manzano Mountains. At nearly 7 feet long and weighing at least 200 pounds, its 12 rows of teeth and the 2½-foot-long fin spines on its back were the inspiration for its name. ...................... Although uncovered in 2013, the process of excavation, preparation, research and study took years. It is expected to be put on display at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science by late summer, said museum executive director Margie Marino.

By CEDAR ATTANASIO Associated Press / Report for America Apr 16, 2021 1 hr ago SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) The 300-million-year-old shark’s teeth were the first sign that it might be a distinct species. The ancient chompers looked less like the spear-like rows of teeth of related species. They were squatter and shorter, less than an inch long, around 2 centimeters. “Great for grasping and crushing prey rather than piercing prey,” said discoverer John-Paul Hodnett, who was a graduate student when he unearthed the first fossils of the shark at a dig east of Albuquerque in 2013. This week, Hodnett and a slew of other researchers published their findings in a bulletin of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science identifying the shark as a separate species.

300-Million-Year-Old Godzilla Shark Had 2 5ft-Long Spines, 12 Rows of Teeth

300-Million-Year-Old Godzilla Shark Had 2.5ft-Long Spines, 12 Rows of Teeth Newsweek 2 hrs ago Ed Browne © Jesse Pruitt/New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science A computer-generated reconstruction of the shark based on fossils seen above it. A shark that lived 300 million years ago has now been formally named by scientists after several years of research. The shark was given the nickname Godzilla Shark when it was first discovered in 2013 via fossils found in the Manzano Mountains in New Mexico. Based on these fossil records scientists think the shark was 6.7 feet long, had 12 rows of teeth contained in powerful jaws, and two large fin spines on its back measuring 2.5 feet. These features led scientists to give the shark its monstrous nickname.
