And this is what happened with Megalodon during all these years! One people put a paper with an estimation, latter other people shows that is incorrect, other put other paper and latter is debunked. The size of this shark is very problematic as there are only teeth and a very few vertebrae that managed to be fosillize. The conversation is very interesting and try to refute those estimations. Using Cretolamna, they propose a maximum size of 13.2 m and 20 tones for the largest known tooth by scientists and of 14.6 m and 27 tones for the largest tooth in private record. Of course this are just the estimations of a few posters there, but they suggest that the work of Dr Shimada is more reliable. Who knows what will say the next document about this giant shark....... |
