}}Carcharodon hubbelli is an extinct species of shark in the genus Carcharodon, known from fossils found in the Pisco Formation in southwestern Peru.[1] The shark is a transitional species, showing intermediate features between present-day great white sharks and smaller, prehistoric mako sharks.[[3]]This shark was named in honour of Gordon Hubbell (the scientist who recovered the specimen from a farmer who found it in 1988)[4] in recognition of his contribution to shark palaeontology.[3] References 1. ^Carcharodon hubbelli at Fossilworks.org
