Ancient sharks may have survived extinction event

Studies of a new fossil finding shows that ancient sharks may have survived extinction about 350 million years ago. Fossils found include teeth and other little pieces in the deep parts of the ocean near southern France. They believe the sharks may have tried to hide from the mass extinction by swimming to the deeper parts. This (almost) mass extinction was called the "Great Dying" and started the beginning of the Triassic period.
