LEXINGTON, Ky. — A miner has found a fossil from a shark jawbone deep in a central Kentucky mine, and it is on display at the University of Kentucky.
The fossil was found in February in Webster County, Ky., where miner Jay Wright, 25, was working to bolt a roof 700 feet underground. The 300-million-year-old black jawbone is thought to be from a shark from the Edestus genus that once swam the seas over what is now Kentucky.
