How much does the tooth of a megalodon shark weigh?
The Megalodon weights about 50-60 tons. That would be the average weight of the Megalodon. But the biggest was 103 tons! WOW ! That's big!By: Dawnydawn664 and wareThe maximum weight C. megalodon could reach is, to be quite honest, unknown to science. It depends on the lenght of each specimen.For example, an average sized megalodon (between 16 to 17 metres long) would have an weight of 48,000 to 60,000 kg.Larger specimens with a lenght of 20.3 metres would have weighted 103,000 kg, according to Michael Gottfried et al.The problem is that Gottfried used, in 2008, as a basis for estimate of max. lenght and weight of C. megalodon a set of fossilized remains that included teeth with a max. height of 184.81 mm.In 2010, Vito Bertucci, a fossil collector, presented to the scientific community a fossilized megalodon tooth with a height of 193.67mm.And it is a mathematical certitude that this larger tooth did NOT belonged to the largest megalodon in the world's oceans!So, marine biologists Patrick J. Schembri et al. could have been more accurate with their avaliation of megalodon's maximum total lenght of 24 to 25 metres (79 to 82 ft).Under this last estimative, the maximum weight of a megalodon would be approximately 180,000 kg, the weight of the largest extant blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus).
When was megalodons alive?
C. megalodon appears in the fossil register in the Late Oligocene, and the more recent megalodon's fossil is from the Calabrian stage of the Pleistocene epoch.This only proves C. megalodon was alive, and in good health, from about 28 million years ago to 1.5 million years BCE.The oldest fossil found of a megalodon was not surely from the first megalodon alive, the same way the more recent tooth fossil accurately dated, from a million and a half years ago, was definetly not the last one alive!I will not comment here on theories from cryptologists of possible relic populations of C. megalodon still alive in the Pacific ocean.The Pacific is three-dimensionallyVAST, and we still know less about our oceans than we know about the surface of planet Mercury!A very significant number of cryptozoologists are serious marine biologists, or paleontologists.The rest of cryptozoologists are amateurs, more or less scientifically informed and honest.You have to judge for yourself the validity of their arguments.
Why did your shark tooth fossil turn your fingers purple?
I Don`t know, Why?, I would think it was from the material the tooth was found in, the material may have a lot of titanium oxides in around the area the tooth was found, though only if the tooth was from the sands of the beaches of Florida. Very interesting to hear this about a fossil.
