Egyptian Desert Reveals Ancient Sea
A recent study reveals that the Abu Tator area on the Western Desert of Egypt was once part of a sea rich in marine life. Over time, geological and climatic changes transformed it into a dry desert. Researchers discovered fossilized teeth belonging to seven species of sharks from the Cretaceous period, which began approximately 145 million years ago, indicating that the region once hosted a warm, nourishing marine environment. The high diversity of shark species suggests that the area was once abundant in small fish, which served as a primary food source for sea predators. The research team plans to continue excavations to gather more evidence about the region's environmental and geological history. These findings confirm that parts of what is now dry land were submerged under the sea millions of years ago.
