Otodus chubutensis is an extinct species of shark that lived during the Eocene epoch, approximately 56-46 million years ago. It was a large predator that could grow up to 10 meters (33 feet) in length and had a robust body with a broad head and large, sharp teeth. Otodus chubutensis is known from fossil remains found in various locations around the world, including the United States, Europe, and South America. In particular, it has been found in the Chubut Province of Argentina, where it was first described and named after the region.
Like other ancient sharks, Otodus chubutensis likely fed on a variety of prey, including fish, marine mammals, and other sharks. Its teeth suggest that it was a powerful predator that could take down relatively large prey. Overall, Otodus chubutensis is an important species for understanding the evolution and diversity of ancient sharks, as well as the ecological relationships between predators and prey in ancient marine ecosystems.
