New species of Jurassic-age Hybodont Shark discovered from Rajasthan's Jaisalmer.

Teeth of new species of Hybodont Shark of Jurassic age have been reported for the first time from Jaisalmer by a team of officers from the Geological Survey of India (GSI).

This discovery marks an important milestone in the study of Jurassic vertebrate fossils in the Jaisalmer region of Rajasthan, and it opens a new window for further research in the domain of vertebrate fossils.

Hybodonts was a dominant group of fishes in both marine and fluvial environments during the Triassic and early Jurassic times.

The newly discovered crushing teeth from Jaisalmer represent a new species named by the research team as Strophodusjaisalmerensis.
