About Megalodon Fossils

Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) was the largest shark ever to exist, reaching lengths of 50-60 feet and dominating Earth's oceans from approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago. These prehistoric giants possessed teeth measuring up to 7 inches in length—three times larger than modern great white shark teeth.
