Fossil Rediscovery Reveals Monster Prehistoric Shark's True Size
The megalodon size debate has another data point, with a fossil rediscovery underscoring how outsized the ancient shark was compared with modern great whites.
Unexplained Mysteries reports that a rediscovered fossil has renewed attention on the true size of megalodon, the massive prehistoric shark that lived until roughly 2.6 million years ago.
Fringe Frequency is treating this as a deep-time monster file. It is not paranormal, but it has the same pressure point as many cryptid stories: the ocean once supported predators so large that modern imagination still struggles to scale them correctly.
