Brief summary of the megalodon.
Also called Otodus megalodon lived about 10-2.6 million years ago.
He reached a length of approximately 16-20 meters
And weighed a weight of about 50-100 tons.
Thus it is the largest and heaviest shark ever existed.
How are the many different colors of the teeth created?
The colors are created by the surrounding rock, in which the tooth is located and fossilized over millions of years.
In a very iron-containing soil, reddish or brown teeth are often found.
Based on the colors, one can partially determine the origin of the teeth.
Probably the most colorful teeth come from Indonesia (e. g. Sukabumi District) or the USA (Bone Valley). But there are more sites of colored teeth.
Dark to light gray teeth are known from the USA South and North Carolina.
From the USA Georgia are known completely black teeth.
In the Caribbean, teeth that are white or beige are found.
