Considered as one of the biggest and most intense predators in history, the ferocious megalodon was a massive sea monster that stalked the deep waters of the prehistoric times. The time before recorded history is already regarded as a world full of terrifying beasts and this one is the baddest and meanest beast in the deep. Fossil remains propose that this monster of a shark achieved a length of 18 meters (59 ft). Researchers propose that the megalodon resembled a stockier prototype of the immense white shark. Among surviving specimens, the common white shark is viewed as the best modern-day animal to resemble the megalodon.
Scientists propose that this behemoth of a shark were wiped out around 1.5 million years. The megalodon has been extinct so long that absence of all around preserved fossils of this gargantuan of the sea drove researchers to depend on the immense white shark as the premise of the way the megalodon reproduced and size estimation.
You’ll discover teeth from the ancient megalodon sharks, lemon sharks, incredible white sharks, mako sharks, sand tiger sharks and bull sharks. The megalodon shark was a pure slaughtering machine that was the biggest meat eater known to have at any point existed at 50 to 60 feet long. It wandered the oceans a great many years prior devouring fish, whales and each other. Apparently though, we can easily unearth megalodon teeth in our general vicinity.
The basic thing to keep in mind is that the teeth of the megalodon shark could be the length of 7 inches (you’ll require some scuba apparatus to get a hold of teeth of that length) yet, if you’re lucky, you can find megalodon teeth along the shorelines up to 3 inches long.
A tooth of this massive but rare pre-historical sea beast was found at Barefoot Beach Preserve. So, try not to neglect the heaps of shells and little things that are from the water line that were left there from a high tide – that is the place this one tooth was found. You’ll never know if you’d be the one who is to discover the next big thing in archeology. You need to check wherever in the middle of the high tide line and the shoreline itself. Keep on the look out of the shape and the patina that resembles shark teeth from shell parts and stones. You’ll be stunned at how little a tooth you’ll discover among everything that cleans up onto the shoreline. As of late, sharks’ teeth of various assortments can be discovered on the Delnor-Wiggins Pass Beach in around a hour of walking the shoreline amid a low tide.
Individuals have been discovering Fossil Shark teeth, including the rare Megalodon teeth, all through history: Pliny the Elder, around 70 AD, believed shark teeth were triangular items dropped from the sky amid lunar shrouds. In the medieval times, Europeans thought they were “tongue stones” or petrified tongues of mythical serpents and snakes. They were worn as pendants and utilized as a part of alchemic rituals. Local Americans utilized shark teeth as pieces of jewelry and even instruments, for example, scrubbers. The megalodon has fascinated people through time and now you can learn all about this massive creature or better yet see one of its teeth if you visit Southwestern Florida.
