Coming back to the topic, here is an overview of this fascinating creature which many of you are eager to know about. Some of the earliest megalodon fossils are traced to originate more than 20 million years ago. For the next 13 million years, the shark played a crucial and dominant role in the oceans until going extinct around 3.5 million years ago. It was not just one of the largest sharks that ever lived but also one of the largest fishes to survive on the planet. Many researchers and scientists have made a close estimation that it was 15 to 18 meters in length. This number is three times longer to that of the largest recorded white shark. All of that has been predicted primarily by using the megalodon teeth fossils that are available to us. As a matter of fact, the word megalodon simply means large tooth.

It is estimated that its jaw was able to span 2.7 meters to 3.5 meters wide. To understand that in terms of raw power, that open mouth can gulp two adult humans side by side very easily!

research on these creatures, it is not hard to find that it was possibly one of the most prominent predators that ever existed on the planet.
