Uncovering the Secrets of Ammocetes - Prehistoric Sharks with a Distinctive Touch

Ammocetes is a prehistoric genus of sharks that lived during the Eocene epoch, about 50 million years ago. It was characterized by a distinctive dermal denticle (skin tooth) pattern and a long, slender body shape. The name "ammocetes" comes from the Greek words "ammo" meaning "fish" and "ketes" meaning "biter", suggesting that these ancient sharks were fish-eaters.
