Megalodon may have simply become coextinct with smaller whale species, such as Piscobalaena nana. [107] The extinction of megalodon had a positive impact on other apex predators of the time, such as the great white shark, in some cases spreading to regions where megalodon became absent.

Jurassic relatives of Megalodon such as Pachyrisma grande were closely related to the rudists. [2]
