💡 Trivia Sharks Are Older Than Saturn's Rings (and Trees)

[Icebucks23]

• The Timeline: The earliest fossilized shark scales date back roughly 450 million years. The first primitive trees didn't evolve until around 385 million years ago.
• The Cosmic Twist: Data from NASA’s Cassini mission revealed that Saturn’s rings are geologically young—likely between 10 and 100 million years old, created when an icy comet or moon was torn apart by the planet’s gravity.
• The Punchline: Dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex were closer to seeing Saturn's rings form than any early shark was. Sharks survived four of the "Big Five" mass extinctions before Saturn even got its crown.
