Otodus megalodon teeth are the largest of any shark, extinct or living, and are among the most sought after types of shark teeth in the world. This shark lived during the late Oligocene epoch and Neogene period, about 28 to 1.5 million years ago, and ranged to a maximum length of 60 ft. [ 13 ] The smallest teeth are only 1.2 cm (0.5 in) in ...
The anterior teeth of C. vraconensis measure 2.1–3.5 centimeters (0.8–1.4 in) in height, [8] while the largest known tooth of C. denticulata measures 3 centimeters (1.2 in). [30] C. mantelli teeth are larger, measuring 3–4 centimeters (1–2 in) in average slant height. The largest tooth discovered from this species may have measured up ...
The 8-year-old Lebanon, Pennsylvania, boy started digging in the soil, clay and gravel and pulled out a huge fossilized tooth from the long-extinct angustiden shark species, that was 22 million to ...
In this model, the great white shark is more closely related to the extinct broad-toothed mako (Cosmopolitodus hastalis) than to megalodon, as evidenced by more similar dentition in those two sharks; megalodon teeth have much finer serrations than great white shark teeth. The great white shark is more closely related to the mako sharks (Isurus ...
