It lived from about 53 million years ago to about 1.1 million years ago, from the Eocene epoch to the Pleistocene epoch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><em>Parotodus<\/em> appears to have originally been a small shark that increased in size over time, reaching up to approximately 7.6 meters in length. Its teeth feature a distinctive curvature and rarely show signs of wear, suggesting a diet composed largely of soft-bodied animals. <em>Parotodus<\/em> teeth are highly valued among fossil collectors due to their scarcity. Their rarity suggests that these sharks preferred living in the open ocean, far from the continents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Also due to the rarity of fossils, it is not known for certain which family <em>Parotodus<\/em> belonged to. A few proposals include <em>Otodontidae<\/em>, <em>Cardabiodontidae<\/em>, <em>Archaeolamna<\/em>, thresher sharks, or white sharks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18694\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18694 size-full\" title=\"The Great White Shark\" src=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/White_shark.jpg\" alt=\"The Great White Shark\" width=\"1200\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/White_shark.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/White_shark-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/White_shark-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/White_shark-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/White_shark-555x386.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Great White Shark, a possible modern relative of the Parotodus shark \u2013 author Terry Goss, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lamniformes#\/media\/File:White_shark.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rechinul Parotodus, cunoscut \u0219i sub denumirea de \u201efalsul\u201d rechin Mako, este un gen disp\u0103rut de rechin din ordinul Lamniformes.
