• The whale shark (Rhincodon typus): the larger silhouette is scaled to 15 metres (49 ft) precaudal length (est. 18.8 metres (62 ft) total length), based on a whale shark measured in 2001. The maximum size of the whale shark is uncertain.
[15] [16] A study looking at the growth and longevity of the basking shark concluded that anything larger than ~10 metres (33 ft) was unlikely. [17] • Measuring a shark's total length can be challenging due to the natural angle at which the caudal lobes are positioned relative to the rest of the shark's body.
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 ...
