"Average fish were found at the site of the discovery of a 7-inch. The biggest shark fossil that ever found previously only 1.5 feet. Godzilla sharks found measuring 7-9 feet and will terrorize the little creatures around them," said Hodnett.
The CT scan analysis revealed that a godzilla shark had a face no less strange. This species has teeth on its lips. While in its mouth was there, but this type has an extra teeth on the outside.
What's the point? Hodnett said, unlike modern sharks can be directly prey with open mouth, this ancient type of shark to be pushed the jaws towards their prey before eating it.
"So have teeth on the lips may help to hold and secure the prey before killing it. Simply, extra teeth outside the mouth of godzilla shark give better bite capabilities with its jaws," explained Hodnett. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NEWS DISCOVERY]
