Baby shark probably died after tucking into a turtle

Written by:

A paleontologist at Columbus State University believes the size of a 70 millions old fossil indicates that the shark ejected it when it was practically a newborn.

Tiny vertebrae inside the fossilised poo indicate the shark's last meal was a newborn soft-shell turtle not much smaller than itself.

The fossilised poo measures almost four centimetres long and was discovered in a fossil bed close to the South Carolina coastline.
