The mako camp contends megalodon, which grew to a length of 60 feet, should have its genus name switched to Carcharocles to reflect its different ancestry.  A study in the <EM>Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology </EM>says the mako proponents are right and concludes megalodon and modern white sharks are much more distantly related than paleontologists initially believed.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.scientificblogging.com/news_releases/which_species_did_modern_great_white_sharks_evolve"><EM>Dana Ehret, the lead author of a UF study on the great white sharks’ origins, is seen here with the shark fossil in the study at Gordon Hubbell’s private gallery in Gainesville, Fla., on March 6, 2009.
