It belongs to the family Otodontidae, the direct ancestral lineage of Megalodon, the largest shark to have ever lived. The specimen is attributed to Cretalamna, an apex predator that ruled the seas of the Cretaceous period. Think of it as the great white shark of its era. Ferocious, relentless, built for dominance. Three rows of teeth grew outward simultaneously, rotating forward as the outer teeth were lost. A system engineered for continuous, unrelenting predation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt Lightning Ridge the picture is different. During the Cretaceous period this region was a freshwater to near shore coastal environment, not open ocean. Cretalamna was an ocean hunter.
