Ptychodus was a large shark, previously estimated at 10 meters (33 feet) long based on extrapolation from teeth. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] The subadult specimen with the largest vertebra showed that it could reach lengths of 4.3–7.07 m (14.1–23.2 ft), so a 10 m (33 ft) length is possible, but more analysis is required for verification.

English: A size diagram comparing various size estimates for the extinct shark Otodus megalodon to Carcharodon carcharias (great white shark), Rhincodon typus (whale shark), and a human. Also shown are megalodon specimens the estimates are based on, vertebral column IRSNB P 9893, upper anterior tooth NSM PV-19896, and lateral tooth GHC 6.
The gummy shark feeds on crustaceans, marine worms, small fish, and cephalopods such as octopus, squid and cuttlefish. [6] It uses its plate-like teeth to help it crush the shells and bodies of its prey for easier consumption. The gummy shark remains on or near the sea beds, and their travel patterns vary on age.

The shark traps the plankton in these filaments and swallows from time to time in huge mouthfuls. Teeth in these species are comparatively small because they are not needed for feeding. [95] Other highly specialized feeders include cookiecutter sharks, which feed on flesh sliced out of other larger fish and marine mammals. Cookiecutter teeth ...
