The meaning of "Megalodon

When you look up the word 'Megalodon' you get a small and very clear meaning: 'Big Teeth'. The oldest teeth of the Megalodon ever found date back to about 20 million years ago. A Megalodon tooth measuring a good 19 cm in length has been found. This, of course, is absurd. Bear in mind that the Megalodon had 5 rows of teeth of this calibre and smaller. The reason that the name Megalodon is given to the shark is because no other fossils are found of the Megalodon other than his teeth.

The megalodon

The Megalodon used to rule the ocean back from the Miocene to the Pliocene era. This shark species was so strong, large and imposing that no other animal species could compete with it. This ensured that the shark had no enemies or prey of any kind.

So let us be very honest. There is no animal that would throw itself on this shark. The Megalodon, by the way, had to keep eating. Thanks to its size, this shark needed tons of food each day to stay alive and active. Perhaps a fun fact about the Megalodon. The Megalodon had 5 rows of teeth, and when one fell out, another grew back. So the Megalodon kept changing its teeth all its life. This may make it even more terrifying.

Medium-sized teeth 8-10 cm

We know the teeth of the Megalodon were big. The size of the teeth would be a mix of small, medium, large and gigantic teeth. This, of course, makes it very interesting for collectors to have teeth of each size. The size of the teeth also makes a difference in price, weight, length and how impressive the teeth are.
