Next up, a new species of shark dating back to 300 million years was discovered. It was posted on Discover News. The creature was found by Palentologist John-Paul-Hodnett in the Monzano Mountains to the east of Albuquerque, New Mexico. He famously dubbed it "Godzilla Shark" because of its rather large physical features compared to the other species of prehistoric shark discovered in that area. Check it out. It is quite fascinating.
