It may not be “Godzilla Shark,” but the official name scientists have given an extinct shark species from 300 million years ago is still pretty cool.
John-Paul Hodnett and other researchers published their findings in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science this week, and said the shark was indeed a new species, according to the Associated Press. They named the 6.7 foot specimen’s species
Dracopristis hoffmanorum, or Hoffman’s Dragon Shark, the Associated Press reported.
Hoffman is the last name of the family that owns the land on which the fossil was found in the Manzano Mountains. ....

Dracopristis hoffmanorum: ‘Godzilla’ shark discovered in New Mexico gets formal name
Santa Fe, NM: The 300-million-year-old shark’s teeth were the first sign that it might be a distinct species.
The ancient chompers looked less like the spear-like rows of teeth of related species. They were squatter and shorter, less than an inch long, around 2 centimetres.
“Great for grasping and crushing prey rather than piercing prey,” said discoverer John-Paul Hodnett, who was a graduate student when he unearthed the first fossils of the shark at a dig east of Albuquerque in 2013. ....

'Godzilla' Shark Discovered in New Mexico Gets Formal Name – NBC Bay Area


This week, Hodnett and a slew of other researchers published their findings in a bulletin of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science identifying the shark as a separate species.
He named the 6.7-foot (2 meter) monster Dracopristis hoffmanorum, or Hoffman’s Dragon Shark, in honor of the New Mexico family that owns the land in the Manzano Mountains where the fossils were found. Hodnett says the area is rife with fossils and easy to access because of a quarry and other commercial digging operations.
The name also harkens to the dragon-like jawline and 2.5-foot (0.75-meter) fin spines that inspired the discovery’s initial nickname, “Godzilla Shark.” ....
