Paleontologist J.P. Hodnett Describes Finding ‘Godzilla Shark’ in New Mexico

A few years ago, a young paleontologist named J.P. Hodnett was on a dig in New Mexico when he found evidence of a terrifying-sounding creature - a so-called ‘Godzilla shark.’ Hodnett told Inside Edition Digital he remembered saying to himself, "Oh my God, what did I find?" The 300-million-year-old shark was an entirely new species, and though it only measured 7 feet long, it loomed over everything else. “This is a giant animal compared to the rest of its ecosystem,” Hodnett said.
