A new fossil discovery in northern Australia reveals a giant shark that swam the seas around 115 million years ago. This colossal predator challenges existing scientific understanding by demonstrating that modern-type sharks evolved to immense sizes much earlier than previously thought. The find suggests these early sharks were competing with the large marine reptiles prevalent during the dinosaur age, pushing back the timeline of shark evolution and showcasing the complexity of prehistoric ocean ecosystems.
