Fossils of sharks have been found dating back to the Silurian period, more than 200 million years before the first dinosaurs.
Yes. Sharks have been around for more than 400 million years.
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
Answer: Ther are approximately 440 different species of sharks divided across eight distinct orders. Examples of common sharks are great white sharks, tiger sharks, whale-sharks, dogfish, angel sharks and many others.
Turtles have been around longer than sharks, with the earliest known turtle fossils dating back over 200 million years, while sharks have been around for about 400 million years.
Yes, sharks have a much better sense of smell than bears. Sharks can detect very small amounts of blood in the water from a long distance, while bears have a strong sense of smell but not as sensitive as sharks.
yes, the coelacanth is older than the dinosaurs.
Axolotls are not dinosaurs. Axolotls belong to a group of animals that's older than dinosaurs.
fly
Yes, sharks have existed longer than dinosaurs. Sharks first appeared over 400 million years ago, well before dinosaurs emerged around 230 million years ago. While dinosaurs dominated the Earth for about 165 million years, many shark species have survived through multiple mass extinctions, continuing to thrive in modern oceans. Thus, sharks have a much longer evolutionary history than dinosaurs.
older than the dinosaurs
No. The first mammals appeared shortly after the first dinosaurs.
There are granite deposits from billions of years ago (which are much older than the oldest dinosaur), there are other granite deposits which were formed in the Cenozoic Period (after all of the dinosaurs were extinct), and there are also granite deposits from the Mesozoic Period (when dinosaurs were dominant). So the answer is: It can be, but is not necessarily so.
Scientist Know This Because They Have Discovered Fossils Or Bones Of Prehistoric Sharks From Millions Of Years Ago Which Shows That There Bone Growth Was Much Larger Than Sharks Today.
Yes. Sharks have been around for more than 400 million years.
No. First of all, there are no "sea dinosaurs." During the time of the dinosaurs there were marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs and icthyosaurs, but they were not closely related to dinosaurs. Sharks are cartilaginous fish. Reptiles are ultimately descended from bony fish, which split off from cartilaginous fish more than 100 million years before the first reptiles appeared.
Humans have not been able to find out when sharks nest. Did you know humans know more about outer space than sea life?
