From the album: Sharks
An early Lamnid (family that includes the modern great white and mako sharks) from Central Kazakhstan. Some consider this genus to be ancestral to Carcharodon or both Carcharodon and Isurus. The latter is a tempting hypothesis since molecular clock studies place the last common ancestor of the great white and makos in this time.-

From the album: Sharks
Early mackerel shark, I believe this is the earliest (if not among the earliest) of the Lamnid sharks (Late Paleocene-Early Eocene) - a family represented today by the extant great white shark, makos, porbeagle, and salmon shark.
