	Origin of Megalodon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Skulking silently along the bottom, the megalodon caught a glimpse of a whale rising gently to the surface to ventilate its lungs.
		The other school interprets the similarities between the teeth of Megalodon and those of the White Shark as due to convergence, and therefore regards Megalodon as representing a separate lineage from that which produced the modern lamnids, including the White Shark.
		While the origin and interrelationships of Megalodon remain important paleoichthyological issues, uncertainty about which genus to use does not dissuade us from wondering what this giant shark was like in life.

		Carcharocles megalodon was by far the largest predator (land or sea) to have ever lived.
		The megalodon thrived in the temperate waters during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.
		The exact time the megalodon became extinct is uncertain, however the megalodon probably lasted until the middle of the Pliocene epoch (approximately 2.5 - 3 million years ago).

	Megalodon Shark Evolution - fossilguy.com
		'Megalodon', the supposed ancestor of the Great White Shark, appears as a distinct species at the beginning of the Miocene (about 20 mya) and is thought to have become extinct in the Pleistocene (120,000-10,000 ya).
		Characteristical for this evolutionary sequence or lineage is the initial primary increase in tooth size, the acquisition of a serrated cutting edge of the crown and finally the loss of the secondary cusps (or cusplets) due to the secondary increase in tooth thickness (Fig.4).

	MountainMegalodons-About C. Megalodon
		The petrified remains of whale bones bearing the marks of sharks’; teeth are a common fossil where megalodon teeth are found.
		The final appearance of the tooth is the product of two natural processes; the development of the shark in whose mouth it grew, and the millions of years it took for that tooth to become a “fossil”;.
		While the tooth was in the megalodon’s mouth it may have become damaged when breaking the bones of giant whales and other prey items.

		The Carcharocles megalodon, (Carcharodon megalodon or megalodon), came from a lineage of sharks that I refer to as the Giant White Sharks or Mega-toothed sharks.
		Earlier estimation of the Carcharocles megalodon, (Carcharodon megalodon or megalodon), being up to 70' were likely in error since the shark length was estimated by the shark jaw size, and early researchers overestimated the number of teeth in the Carcharocles megalodon, (Carcharodon megalodon or megalodon), jaw.

	Reconstructing Megalodon
		Since Megalodon teeth so closely resemble those of the modern white shark in form but are about three times as large, it seemed to early museum curators that a scaled-up model of White Shark jaws would be a reasonable approximation.
		As a result of Randall's work, early reconstructions of Megalodon are now known to be at least a third too large.
		Since the only fossil material definitely assignable to megalodon is a few dozen vertebral centra and several hundred teeth, the authors had to rely heavily on extrapolations from the modern White Shark, which they believe to be its closest living relative.

	MEGALODON - Carcharodon megalodon: the Megatooth Shark.
		From the size of its teeth, it is believed that the Megalodon was three times as big as the white shark and could attain a length of 15 metres for a weight of 20 to 25 tonnes.
		From this observation, scientists believe that the Megalodon's disappearance is related to the climatic change that occurred in the middle of the Pliocene Epoch: it is presumed that the Ice Age the Earth experienced seriously disrupted the life of this shark used to warm waters.
		Moreover, it is possible that the big marine mammals moved to colder waters where the Megalodon could not follow.

		There is a major rift between researchers, some of whom think Meg should be classified as Carcharodon megalodon (which it was called from the early 1800s to 1960), and some who argue that it should be called Carcharocles megalodon, which it was changed to in 1960.
		"It is easily distinguished from the megalodon lineage," says shark expert David Ward, "by its flatter crown and root, and a narrow, evenly wide burlette." "It was an early attempt to be a white shark that sadly failed." This shark lived from the early to middle Paleocene.
		The second is to look at modern shark growth and the chemistry of modern shark centra that have grown for a known number of years to see if that animal has growth rings that correspond with its age.
