Dr Craig R McClain @drcraigmc.bsky.social · 07/08/20261/10 People keep asking if Megalodon is still out there. It isn't, and a clear writeup of how we actually know wasn't really anywhere online. So I wrote one. Here's the short version, then the full piece. 🧪 🦈 #FossilFriday #marinelife 813642
Lana J. Pratt @lanajpratt.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Other reading on this front, even the cryptozoologists (at least the academic ones) are against it.

justmeandthepups.bsky.social @justmeandthepups.bsky.social · 07/08/2026This kind of opportunity to learn, to better understand the world through glimpses into how experts do so, is a gift. Thank you. 010
Dr Craig R McClain @drcraigmc.bsky.social · 07/08/20262/10 First, teeth. Sharks shed and replace teeth constantly. We know Megalodon almost entirely from fossilized teeth. They're distinctive. They date from 23 million to 2.6 million years ago. Then they stop cold. A living Megalodon would be dropping recognizable teeth worldwide. 🦈 #FossilFriday 2414
