Mammoth Cave National Park discovers another new species of ancient shark
SUMMARY: A new ancient shark species, *Macadens olsoni*, was discovered at Mammoth Cave National Park through fossil research. Notable for its unique tooth whorl adapted to crush small sea creatures, this shark was less than a foot long and likely ate mollusks and worms. The fossils date back 340–335 million years to when the area was a warm, shallow sea. Named in honor of Mammoth Cave and retired scientist Rickard Olson, the discovery was made by researchers from the National Park Service, Mammoth Cave, and the Smithsonian. This finding broadens understanding of ancient marine ecosystems and highlights the park’s paleontological importance.
