Sharks almost disappeared from the world s oceans around 19 million years ago, with population numbers plummeting by more than 90 per cent, a study found.
Researchers led from Yale University constructed a record of shark diversity and abundance spanning the last 40 million years based on fossil teeth and scales.
The episode came, the team explained, at a time when shark numbers had been some ten times greater than they are today, and they never truly recovered.
This fundamental shift in the ecological composition of pelagic predators paved the way for the for the large, migratory shark lineages that now dominate our oceans.
