Abstract
Sibert and Rubin (Reports, 4 June 2021, p. 1105) report an early Miocene extinction in pelagic sharks based on the loss of shark denticle diversity in two widely separated deep-sea sediment cores. We assert that the pattern observed is not a consequence of extinction but results from shifting species ranges induced by global current reorganization.
