True dimensions of Megalodon Shark revealed for the first time

Made famous with Hollywood movies like “Jaws” and “The Meg”. Thought to have lived between 23 million and 3 million years ago. The size of the megalodon shark first revealed in its entirety by a study conducted in England. The researchers concluded that only the dorsal fin of the shark  human-sized.

Revealed that only the fins of the giant shark were the size of an adult human. The great white shark depicted in the 1975 movie Jaws. It is a distant descendant of the megalodon and is usually more than 6 meters in length.

Used mathematical methods to find the total size of the megalodon.

The results show that a 16-foot megalodon has a head about 4.65 meters long, a dorsal fin 1.62 meters tall, and a tail 3.85 meters long.

This means that an adult human has about the same size as the megadolon’s dorsal fin.

Jack Cooper, with a master’s degree in paleobiology from the University of Bristol. “I have always admired sharks,” he describes the work as a “dream project”.

As an undergraduate, I worked with great whites in South Africa and of course dived between them, protected by a steel cage.

This sense of danger, as well as the fact that sharks are very beautiful and well adapted animals, makes them very attractive to study.

Megalodon was the animal that inspired me to pursue paleontology when I was six, and I am very happy to study it.

This was my dream project. However, considering that all we have is a large number of isolated teeth. “You may think we still need a lot of research on the animal,” he said.
