Giant 'Shell Crusher' Shark Remains Found in Kansas

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/...rrorized-sea/?test=faces[/url]


Paleontologists believe they've identified the remains of an 88.7-million-year-old enormous shark they suspect terrorized sea animals --thanks to a jaw with hundreds of teeth. The clincher? It lived in Kansas.

The newly discovered fossils show the Ptychodus mortoni probably had a 3-foot-long law and could grow to 33 feet in length The animal, nicknamed the "shell crusher," is believed to have had hundreds, some of which were replacement teeth ready to be used when others fell out.

Kenshu Shimada, a research associate in paleontology at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History, found the shark's remains embedded in a vertical rock cliff in Kansas called the Fort Hays Limestone.
