I got lucky enough to spot another Otodus megalodon tooth today while scuba diving! I can’t wait to clean this one up as it should have some crazy colors.. #fossil #shark #explorepage #history #outdoors | endless_search_

While scuba diving this river we spotted this monster Otodus megalodon shark tooth sticking out of the clay! Unfortunately, this one has a broken corner, but they can’t all be perfect! #explorepage #history #fossil #sharkteeth #shark #fossils | endless_search_

Meg! #Otodus #megalodon, a.k.a. Megalodon is the largest macropredatory shark yet known. I have to be so specific because, technically, whale sharks and other mega-filter-feeders are predators. Yes, their prey is microscopic, but they are still eating animas, thus making them predators. Controversy has surrounded this animal almost since its discovery and it has gone through a half dozen genus names, though Otodus seems to have won the day, as well as more length changes than a Spinosaurus body
