Truth in a tooth

    • In the absence of a fully fossilised megalodon discovery that might reveal its shape and likely weight, it seems there is still a lot of truth in a tooth.
    • The largest megalodon tooth yet found is “18cm from base to tip” and “almost certainly came from an individual that exceeded 15m in length”.
    • The shape of the tooth and its serrations confirm its job was to kill other marine mammals.
    • For now, the creature, whose arrowhead tooth once sat in his youthful hand – pointing him to the path of palaeontology – exists largely in his imagination: the “megalodon in all its terrifying glory”.

Meg 2: the truth about the extinct mega shark – and why even this ridiculous film could inspire future palaeontologists

Otodus megalodon, the biggest shark of all time, has long captured the imaginations of palaeontologists and the public alike.

Key Points: 
  • Otodus megalodon, the biggest shark of all time, has long captured the imaginations of palaeontologists and the public alike.
  • As big as human hands and serrated like kitchen knives, they were used for cutting down whales unlucky enough to encounter these sharks.
  • This gigantic predator has been further propelled into the limelight through popular culture.
  • I am now, 20 years later, a practising palaeobiologist specialising in fossil sharks and my most well-known work revolves around none other than megalodon.

Megalodon biology and cinematic representation

    • Nitrogen isotope values from megalodon are exceptionally high, indicating it was higher up the food chain than any living marine predator.
    • In short, the megalodon was the most apex of ocean predators.
    • Mesothermy enhances swimming speeds, allowing a megalodon to travel faster and further, increasing its chances of finding prey.
    • This active lifestyle would have forced megalodon to eat more food – around 98,000 kcal every day – to justify its size.
    • And it should make for a very cool moment of cinematic absurdity.

A better story for sharks

    • It caused the spread of great white sharks, for example, and allowed whales to get even bigger because there were no more giant sharks to fear.
    • Unfortunately, media depictions like this can drive bizarre conspiracy theories that megalodons are somehow still alive.
    • Sharks continue to be portrayed negatively in the wider media, despite up to a third of today’s sharks being threatened with extinction.
    • We kill as many as 100 million sharks every year and the largest ones are at particular risk.
