Origin of the white shark Carcharodon (Lamniformes: Lamnidae) based on recalibration of the Upper Neogene Pisco Formation of Peru
The taxonomic origin of the white shark, Carcharodon, is a highly debated subject. New
fossil evidence presented in this study suggests that the genus is derived from the broad …

Dental homologies in lamniform sharks (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii)
K Shimada - Journal of Morphology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
The dentitions of lamniform sharks are said to exhibit a unique heterodonty called the

Body dimensions of the extinct giant shark Otodus megalodon: a 2D reconstruction
Inferring the size of extinct animals is fraught with danger, especially when they were much
larger than their modern relatives. Such extrapolations are particularly risky when allometry …
