In the press release, Professor Shimada acknowledges that the study’s preliminary conclusions are based on solid data. He hopes a complete skeleton will eventually be found to validate their findings …
Good luck with that, since shark skeletons are made of cartilage and not bone.

OK, OK, it’s Chondrichthyes.

Had to look up the spelling. Been a few years.

Although more rare than fossil bone, fossil cartilage and other soft and fragile materials are sometimes found, including entire invertebrates and bits like skin, dung, scales, feathers, eggs, plants, spores and pollen, and fruit. My guess is that an entire fossil Megalodon will eventually be found or assembled.
