Top 15 Megalodon teeth (14)

Welcome to Megalodontand.nl, the website for fans of the prehistoric basking shark, the Megalodon, and its impressive teeth. We would like to tell you all about the Megalodon in our article.

A look at the history of the Megalodon

The Megalodon, also known as the Otodus Megalodon, was a giant shark species that lived 23 million to 3.6 million years ago. This magnificent apex predator belonged to the family of Otodontidae. The Megalodon were the largest sharks that ever swam in our waters.

The Megalodon could easily reach a length of 18 metres and a weight of 60,000 kilos. This is, of course, truly bizarre. In addition, the teeth of the Megalodon could also grow to frightening sizes, think of a maximum length of 19 centimetres. Curious about the more extensive history of the Megalodon?

The fascinating teeth of the Megalodon

The teeth of the Megalodon are the most impressive thing about this magnificent animal. It is not for nothing that it was given the name "Megalodon", which also means big tooth. Although this is not the only reason the Megalodon got its name, it does add an extra dimension to the overall picture. What is the other reason the Megalodon got this name?

The reason is that apart from the Megalodon's impressive teeth, no other fossils have ever really been found. The frightening size of the teeth and the sharp cutting edges made the Megalodon the apex predator as we know it. The teeth of the Megalodon consisted of about 276 teeth and were divided into five rows. The Megalodon also kept changing teeth throughout its life, so there was always another sharp giant ready after its predecessor broke off. Incidentally, this is also the reason why we still find so many fossils to this day.

How important are Megalodon teeth today?

Fossil Megalodon teeth are invaluable to scientists. They provide important information about the habitat, behaviour and evolution of this prehistoric basking shark. By studying the teeth, researchers can understand the Megalodon's feeding habits and its contribution to marine life in its time. The teeth can also give us insight into the growth and development of individual sharks. This contributes to a better understanding of the biology of this species.
