Question on the age of the Carcharocles (Otodus) megalodon fossils from Punta Médanos locality, Argentina
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Recently I found a really interesting article rom 2021 describing fossilized specimens (in the form of teeth) of the giant shark Carcharocles (Otodus) megalodon from Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Here is the article: De Pasqua, J., Agnolin, F., Rolando, A. M., Bogan, S., & Gambetta, D. (2021). First occurrence of the giant shark Carcharocles Megalodon (Agassiz, 1843) (Lamniformes; Otodontidae) at Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Revista Brasileira De Paleontologia, 24(2), 141–148. https://doi.org/10.4072/rbp.2021.2.05 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/35- 3 replies

Dear all As a non-scientist I´d be glad if I could get your opinion on the authenticity of a Carcharocles megalodon tooth I have purchased off an auction site. It is missing some part, so I could get it for a reasonable price since the spotless teeth are way out my budget. Do you think this tooth could be legit? Many thanks for your expertise.

From the album: Sharks
Hubbell (juvenile) megalodon, likely from the East Coast. I don't understand the hype surrounding megalodon, but this one was cool enough for the collection. It has good preservation, and the tip is spalled-off from feeding.-

I've been acquiring Megalodon teeth from different localities over the past weeks. It's an ongoing project. I'm thrilled to share the first bit of my collection! I thank various members for sharing their knowledge of these localities with me. I would like to thank in particular @Praefectus for bouncing ideas, and for offering his thoughts on the legitimacy of almost every one of these; I also thank @gigantoraptor for generously gifting me the Dutch Meg!

Scientific Name: Carcharocles megalodon Geologic Age: Miocene clay Location: Southern Maryland, USA Date: April 19, 2020 I love searching our creek for interesting finds. Last summer we started discovering large fossilized scallops. Then recently I started finding various shark teeth and ray plates. I was thrilled to reach down and pull up a megalodon from the creek for the first time. It is about 3.5 inches long, slightly longer on the other side. My parents helped me document this find here, it's our first time posting and we think this is the right place for

Whoo Boy .. what a Friday ! I decided that this was the day I was gonna pull a Meg out of the water. I even called it with my wife present, and she gave me the same rolled eyes to the ceiling look .. haha. I had dropped in two weeks prior and pulled out 3 fraglodons in the 2-3in range in the same spot so I suspected that there were other large chunks to be had if not a whole tooth. These teeth are from a re-worked layer so in the stream they can take a further beating. On the whole the rains have been pretty steady on and off the past few weeks and the water was murky unfortu

From the album: TEETH & JAWS
Occasionally, teeth of the two sharks, Carcharocles megalodon and Carcharodon carcharias, may be confused for one another. Ususally, this is a problem with a worn or otherwise damaged tooth . . . especially where the teeth of the two sharks may be found together, as in Florida's Peace River (C. carcharias teeth are uncommon in the Peace River). Megalodon and the great white shark now are generally believed to be not closely related.
