Wisertime - Interesting study! If there’s any validity to it with the extinct shark species that tooth would have came from a shark that was 47.15ft!
Way cool !

Amazing, and thank you for letting me/us know. That’s simply insane to imagine something like that swimming around our waters.

Can’t believe a megaladon tried to eat your anchor!
What an amazing probability of that happening…or ever happening again to anyone else.
That is incredible. My oldest son would die to find one that big. I’ve see some hypothesize that Megalodon sharks could reach lengths in excess of 60+’.
In the 1990s, marine biologists such as Patrick J. Schembri and Staphon Papson opined that C. megalodon may have approached a maximum of around 24 to 25 metres (79 to 82 ft) in total length;[39][40] however, Gottfried and colleagues asserted that C. megalodon could have reached a maximum of 20.3 metres (67 ft) in total length.[7][9][41] However, a commonly acknowledged maximum total length of C. megalodon is 18 metres (59 ft).[
