Godzilla shark fossil found in NM

.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... A 300 million-year-old shark fossil discovered in New Mexico is the most complete fossil from the ctenacanth family ever found in North America and represents an entirely new species. (Courtesy of New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science) Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal Scientists humorously refer to it as the “Godzilla shark,” a newly discovered species whose fossilized remains were found in the Manzano Mountains. At nearly 7 feet long and weighing at least 200 pounds, its 12 rows of teeth and the 2½-foot-long fin spines on its back were the inspiration for its name. ...................... Although uncovered in 2013, the process of excavation, preparation, research and study took years. It is expected to be put on display at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science by late summer, said museum executive director Margie Marino.

300-Million-Year-Old Godzilla Shark Had 2 5ft-Long Spines, 12 Rows of Teeth

300-Million-Year-Old Godzilla Shark Had 2.5ft-Long Spines, 12 Rows of Teeth Newsweek 2 hrs ago Ed Browne © Jesse Pruitt/New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science A computer-generated reconstruction of the shark based on fossils seen above it. A shark that lived 300 million years ago has now been formally named by scientists after several years of research. The shark was given the nickname Godzilla Shark when it was first discovered in 2013 via fossils found in the Manzano Mountains in New Mexico. Based on these fossil records scientists think the shark was 6.7 feet long, had 12 rows of teeth contained in powerful jaws, and two large fin spines on its back measuring 2.5 feet. These features led scientists to give the shark its monstrous nickname.

Gettysburg native co-authors study of fossils

Just as fossils can be found among the rock foundations of buildings, so too can interests and vocations be embedded within families. This comparison certainly applies to a research study at Slippery Rock University (SRU) involving two students, a professor and a paleontologist whose daughter is one of those said students. This quartet explored the widespread occurrences of fossils and fossiliferous stone found within historic and prehistoric human-made structures, calling attention to unique insights into the human dimensions of paleontology, which is the study of fossils, according to a release from the university. Examples include dinosaur fossils found in the capstone of a stone bridge in the Gettysburg National Military Park and petrified wood in the foundation of the Theodore Roosevelt Lodge in Yellowstone National Park.
