Megalodon tooth fossils have been unearthed in many other countries too, such as the Philippines. The Southeast Asian country is home to several great white sharks, which are studied to be closely related to Megalodons. A single tooth fossil from a Megalodon shark was unearthed in Barangay Jand...

Whales and great white sharks would be great ones to compare it to! Luckily, humans have never had to encounter megalodons, but that doesn’t mean you can’t imagine what that would be like in your artwork. You could create an awe-inspiring scene by drawing a human next to the shark....
A new study shows that the body size of the iconic gigantic Megalodon or megatooth shark, about 50 feet (15 meters) in length, is indeed anomalously large compared to body sizes of its relatives. Formally calledOtodus megalodon, the fossil shark that lived nearly worl...
(d) Palaeoartistic reconstruction of a 16 m †O. megalodonscaled against a 1.65 m human (illustration by Oliver E. Demuth). Fin shapes are based on our generalised morphometric shapes in the silhouettes whereas the reconstruction aims to capture their true biological shapes, i.e. the cerato...
This means an adult human could stand on the back of this shark and would be about the same height as the dorsal fin. The reconstruction of the size of Megalodon body parts represents a fundamental step towards a better understanding of the physiology of this giant, and the intrinsic factors...
When compared to a 16-foot shark (4.87m) with a known bite gape of 11x13 inches, the scaling up of these large bites would suggest a shark up to 7.8m in length was then alive in the seas off Albany. In 1968, even larger shark bites were claimed to be observed on a whale carcass...
The researchers compared the five species to each other, and to the rest of the lamniform order. Using detailed field guide drawings, they performed quantitative comparisons of the sharks’ fin, head, and body shapes. They found no general patterns that would allow th...
