It had a cartilaginous skeleton and was therefore poorly preserved with exception of its teeth, but paleontologists believe that it looked a lot like the great white shark, only far larger.
Based on the inference, yet another previous study used 2D geometric shape analyses on the body forms of modern lamnids to propose an inferred body form ofProfessor Shimada and colleagues examined whether such a two-dimensional approach can actually differentiate the body forms represented by modern endothermic species from those of modern ectothermic ones within the shark order called
