Teeth of the extinct shark Carcharodon hastalis have been found in most Miocene and Pliocene marine deposits in California & Florida that produce shark teeth. It is also found in similar age deposits around the world. Long regarded as a member of the mako shark lineage, it is now thought by many paleontologists to be ancestral to the living great white shark.
