Yes. Sharks have been around for more than 400 million years.
Sand sharks first appeared in the late Eocene epoch, which spanned from approximately 56 to 33.9 million years ago. Fossil evidence suggests that sand sharks were present during this time period and have continued to exist to the present day.
The Megalodon is the oldest and biggest shark that ever lived. It inhabited the earth 18 million to 1.5 million years ago. It was the biggest carnivorious fish known to have existed. It could grow up to 50ft in size and fed on prehistoric whales. SuperSlasher
There are a few animals common to today's ocean whose relatives were also around 470 million years ago. Sharks are a good example.
The Mesozoic Period (251 - 65 million years ago) lasted approximately 216 million years. It consisted of the Triassic Period (251 - 200 million years ago), the Jurassic Period (199-146 million years ago) and the Cretaceous Period (145 - 65 million years ago).
Precambrian
From about 300 million years ago to 180 million years ago.
Up to and over 15,000,000 years ago.
Sand sharks first appeared in the late Eocene epoch, which spanned from approximately 56 to 33.9 million years ago. Fossil evidence suggests that sand sharks were present during this time period and have continued to exist to the present day.
Around fifty million years ago.
65 million years ago
25 million years ago, humans did not exist. Australopithecus (the earliest human) evolved about 3.75 million years ago.

No, Moas lived from about 17 million years ago until about 600 years ago. Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
Pangaea existed approximately 335 million years ago and began breaking apart around 175 million years ago during the Mesozoic era.
No. They died out 65 million years ago.
They died off roughly 1.5 million years ago.
