About the Megalodon Shark
Otodus megalodon (often historically referred to as Carcharocles megalodon) was the largest predatory shark to ever live, reaching estimated lengths of 50–60 feet and dominating warm oceans worldwide during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. Its massive jaws and serrated teeth enabled it to prey on whales, dolphins, and other large marine mammals.
As the largest predatory shark ever known, Megalodon fossils, especially well-preserved teeth, offer rare insight into the size, power, and behavior of this prehistoric apex predator.
