The discovery of dozens of tiny sharp teeth together with egg capsules proves the existence of a 230 million-year-old shark nursery, according to a paper published in the latest Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

"It allows the direct correlation between those eggs and the young and the interpretation of the area as a shark nursery," lead author Jan Fischer explained to Discovery News.
