Predator

The researchers were now worried because they had no idea that such a creature was still alive among them. It was not just monstrous in size, but also a predator. It could possibly mean that the safety of people was at stake. 

Revelation

The monstrous creature was a shark, but definitely not an ordinary one. “Megalodon was this large, humongous shark that roamed the ancient seaways during the Miocene-Pliocene time—mainly mid-Miocene to Pliocene—which was about 15 million to five million years ago,” Cynthia said. 

Great Discovery

Denny would really have been wrong to think that what he had found was just driftwood when it was actually a fossilized tooth of a megalodon shark, which people thought was prehistoric but maybe they were mistaken. 

The Size

The size of the shark was enormous, no doubt. The object that was found by Denny was the tooth of the shark. The scientists have a theory that its size grows 10 feet for every inch of its tooth. This meant that the 6-inch tooth that Denny found belonged to a shark that must’ve been 60-feet long. 

The Megalodon

The megalodon shark is three times larger than the great white sharks, which are already so big in size. It is scary to even imagine something so big in size has been a part of the ocean, and can even be a threat to humans if it is still alive. 

Special

After Denny found the tooth of the shark, he was ecstatic. “I couldn’t get a million dollars and be any happier,” he said. “Even the small shark’s tooth just excites the heck out of you… I felt like I was a lottery winner.”
