However, the Australian/Antarctic shark teeth, from the family Mcmurdodontidae, have also been found to lack a multilayer enameloid layer covering the tooth crown, something found in all modern sharks and most Devonian sharks, indicating that they are neoselachians of uncertain affinity or even indeterminate chondrichthyans. The occurrence of ...

Ptychodus was a large shark, previously estimated at 10 meters (33 feet) long based on extrapolation from teeth. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] The subadult specimen with the largest vertebra showed that it could reach lengths of 4.3–7.07 m (14.1–23.2 ft), so a 10 m (33 ft) length is possible, but more analysis is required for verification.
Any fossils, including fossil shark teeth, are preserved in sedimentary rocks after falling from their mouth. [13] The sediment that the teeth were found in is used to help determine the age of the shark tooth due to the fossilization process. [15] Shark teeth are most commonly found between the Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. [16]
