A winged shark discovered in Mexico

Scientists in Mexico have found a fossilized shark from the "Cretaceous period", as reported by the newspaper "Novocity".

The newspaper added that the fish that was found had long pectoral fins that resemble wings, and that it had not previously been discovered.

Scientists have called this type of fish the name "eagle shark", as it does not resemble known sharks at all. Therefore, scientists were forced to create a special family for it within the order of lemnites, "modern sharks."

This fish is distinguished by its length (1.65 meters) and the length of its wing-like pectoral fins (1.90 meters).

Its anatomical features give it a strange appearance, combining those of sharks and rays, and it has a long torpedo-like body and tail.

They have long, slender pectoral fins, and a wide mouth with very small teeth, which they seem to have used to collect plankton.

The researchers believe that this type of shark was relatively slow-moving, and used its long pectoral fins and tail to slide into the water with an open mouth to collect plankton.
