[14] [10] A possible reproduction area of O. obliquus has been discovered in the Ganntour basin ...
The locality has also a high presence of sharks indicated by a large abundance of shark teeth; however, most of these teeth have not been identified. Megalodon teeth have been found in the bay, and evidence from bite marks in whale bones indicate the additional presence of the great white shark, shortfin mako and broad-toothed
A shark-like image on their fish finder conjured images of a giant shark that swam the oceans millions of years ago. Shark-like underwater image conjures thoughts of 50-foot, 40-ton Megalodon for ...
Otodus angustidens [3] is an extinct species of prehistoric megatoothed sharks in the genus Otodus, which lived during the Late Eocene and Miocene epochs about 34 to 21 million years ago. [4] The largest individuals were about 11–12 metres (36–39 ft) long. This shark is related to another extinct megatoothed shark, the famous Otodus ...
