Compared to some of the other nasties that swam around the Inland Sea at that time this shark was relatively harmless; big but fed on clams. Sounds like a giant Nurse Shark.

Sharks in Kansas?
Is that because of that global warming thingy that AlGore talks about?

I hate to get too technical, but I am an ecologist and am sensitive to the use of ecological terms. That said, ALL sharks are primarily predatory, regardless of their size. Even if they are plankton feeders - guess what - they PREY on plankton. Here’s the technical part, predation, always results in the death of the prey. Other feeding strategies like detritivory (eating stuff that is already dead) or herbivory, do not involve the killing of the eaten.

Kansas, huh? Aren’t there those that claim there is no evidence the entire planet was ever covered in water? Interesting, very, very interesting...

If scientists discover a fossil on Mars, would it be correct to say that it had been “unmarsed”...or does unearthed still apply?

An 89,000,000 year old shark, found right in the middle of a continent on a 5,794 year old Earth.
I’m so confused!
