Miocene_Mason Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Here’s my fossil question this week: Every now and then people speak of “Hubbell Megalodons” or “Hubbell-type Megalodons”, and everyone seem to know what that means. Maybe I’m the only one, but I have no clue what that is. Can y’all enlighten me on the subject? I know Hubbell is a world renowned collector of shark fossils, and I assume he first found or recognized these type of Megalodon teeth? Pictures, explainations, literature are all welcome and encouraged. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 @Troodon and @Tidgy's Dad thanks for that, now I can actually tell what people are talking about when they speak of them! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, this will follow “Shark-a-lanche: Ice is just frozen water” with a meg coming out of the icebergs! I think if you slap the word “Shark” on any movie it will be a box office success. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
