In the press release, Professor Shimada acknowledges that the study’s preliminary conclusions are based on solid data. He hopes a complete skeleton will eventually be found to validate their findings …
Good luck with that, since shark skeletons are made of cartilage and not bone.

experts from around the world analyzed a nearly complete vertebral column of a megalodon found in Belgium.

Based on careful analysis of that vertebral column, they determined that the newborns were 13 feet long. Because science.

A 24.3-meter individual would have weighed around 94 tons with cruising speed at 2.1-3.5 km/h (1.3–2.2 miles/h /h)


Those speeds are off by at least 10x.

I wonder how they came up with them.

"This resulted in a total estimated length of 16.4 meters (54 feet) for that specific megalodon specimen."

You know how you know that when you're in the water, chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail.

80? That’s a lot of feet, especially for a fish.

I used to have 3 megaladon teeth. My room mate in college at Univ of Florida was a geology major and his girlfriend’s father worked for a phosphate mining company in Bartow, FL. We got passes several times to go searching the bottom of the open pit mines for shark teeth. I gave one of the teeth to my room mate because he wanted to give it as a gift to a geology associate.
