The large shark Otodus obliquus evolved in the Paleocene epoch,and the similarly sized Otodus auriculatus evolved serrated teeth~10 my later in the Eocene. A slightly larger form, Otodusangustidens, evolved ~10 my later in the Oligocene. A slightlylarger form w/ more triangular teeth, Otodus chubutensis, evolved~10 my later. 6-8 my later, the largest member of this lineage,Otodus megalodon (“The Meg”) evolved from it. This increasinglylarge-bodied lineage of sharks never branched over a 50 my period -what evolutionary scenario best describes this?
