We just saw Sea Monsters at IMAX. Good computer animation. It featured a family of dolichorhynchops—shortened to Dollies in the movie. The little female got attacked by a shark and the tooth embedded into the back of her. 80+ million years her fossil is discovered with the tooth still in there.

Why did this story immediately cause me to think of the state owned media discovering a potentially damaging story on a Republican?

This is impossible. Adam and Eve had not yet sinned, and so death had not yet entered the world.

I wonder if anyone is ever going to ask how the fossil formed if it was attacked by sharks and eaten. Did the skeleton drift down to the sea floor in one piece and slowly get covered by silt? Nice....

the first direct evidence of the diet and feeding behavior of Cretalamna appendiculata, a now-extinct early relative of today's great white sharks..

Some people just cannot be believed. What else did these dumb SOB think a shark even bigger than the great white with even bigger teeth, would eat? Plankton? Yeah, there's a mystery solved, a massive, huge extinct predator actually ate other animals and fish. Wow, how intelligent and insightful that they couldn't figure that out before finding an old chewed up carcass.

Credit where credit’s due: Jaws and his pals are why we never have to worry about Godzilla.
