Ancient Shark Graveyard Found in Egyptian Desert Sheds Light on Deep-Time Climate Change

Paleontologists working in Egypt’s Western Desert have identified an extraordinary fossil site containing the remains of ancient sharks and other marine life preserved far from today’s coastline. The discovery offers a rare window into a time when the region was covered by sea, underscoring how dramatically Earth’s climate and geography have shifted over millions of years. For climate scientists, the site is a reminder that today’s environmental transitions are unfolding against a much longer geological record of change.
