What did the megalodon shark eat?

They probably ate animals ranging dolphins and fish to sea cows and sea turtles. Because of the extremely large size of megalodon, whales would have been an important part of their diet.

What are the clues that fossils reveal about the behavior and diet of megalodon?

Like other sharks, Megalodon's skeleton is made of cartilage, not bone. That means it doesn't fossilize well. The vast majority of Megalodon fossils that we have are teeth, and we also have a few vertebrae. From these, we can tell that Megalodon was a huge shark, but it is still difficult to get an exact size estimate (maximum figures say it was about 50+ feet long, compared with great whites which are only 20 feet long, at the largest). We also know that Megalodon had a global distribution, and that it lived between 15.9 and 2.6 million years ago. The other thing we know is that they probably ate cetaceans, such as whales, because some whale skeletons from the period show tooth marks that match those of Megalodon.
