Biomechanical insights into the dentition of megatooth sharks (Lamniformes: Otodontidae)
The evolution of gigantism in extinct otodontid sharks was paralleled by a series of drastic modifications in their dentition including widening of the crowns, loss of lateral cusplets, and acquisition of serrated cutting edges. These traits have generally been interpreted as key functional features...
