Many consider it to be the ancestor of the largest sharks that ever lived, <em>Otodus angustidens<\/em> and <em>Otodus megalodon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cretalamna<\/em> was a medium-sized shark, with a total length estimated at 2.3\u20133 m. It is thought to have had a spindle-shaped body comparable to that of modern lamniform sharks, as indicated by its circular vertebrae.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><em>Cretalamna<\/em> teeth are distinguished by a broad central triangular cusp and two smaller lateral cusplets. The edges of the teeth are razor-sharp, while the sides have a smooth surface. Tooth symmetry varies\u2014some exhibit exact bilateral symmetry, while others show high asymmetry. Adjacent teeth do not overlap.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12987\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12987\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12987 size-full\" title=\"Illustration of Cretalamna\" src=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of Cretalamna\" width=\"2560\" height=\"888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-1024x355.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-768x266.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-1536x533.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-2048x711.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Cretolamna_Profile_Artistic_Impression-555x193.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Illustration of the Cretalamna shark \u2013 author Pedro Ragazzi, <a href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/c\/c7\/Cretolamna_Profile%2C_Artistic_Impression.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cretalamna (cunoscut \u0219i ca Cretolamna) este un gen disp\u0103rut de rechin otodontid, care a tr\u0103it de acum aproximativ 103 de milioane de ani p\u00e2n\u0103 acum aproximativ 46 de milioane de ani, din Cretacicul T\u00e2rziu, p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een Eocen.
