Paleontologists in #Peru have revealed the #fossil of a 9-million-year-old ancestor of the great white shark. The shark lived in the southern Pacific Ocean and was known for preying on sardines. The almost intact Cosmopolitodus Hastalis fossil was discovered approximately 235 km (146 miles) south of Lima in the Pisco basin of Peru, a hot desert region renowned for its regular finds of ancient marine life.
