Researchers have identified fossils of a gigantic lamniform shark that lived off northern Australia 115 million years ago. This predator achieved massive body size much earlier in shark evolutionary history than previously known, taking a leading position in ocean food chains with large marine reptiles. The discovery emerged from an interdisciplinary analysis reconstructing size evolution in anc
