Scapanorhynchus
The Scapanorhynchus shark is considered a “spade snout” fish that lived in the early Cretaceous era to the Miocene between 145 to 5.3 million years ago. This type of shark shares many similarities with the modern goblin sharks, which are the closest living relatives.
These sharks reached lengths of up to 10 feet long. The most prominent feature was its snout, which was not only elongated but equipped with sharp teeth used for catching fish and other prey. The fossils of the Scapanorhynchus have been found in various areas around the Atlantic Ocean.
