is a megalodion shark?
There are no shark species with that name. I guess you were asking if the are MEGALODON sharks; in this case, the answer is afirmative. C.

We have a large fossil register, mostly teeth but also some rare vertebral centra, which is made of a very hard cartilage. The oldest fossils of Megalodon are teeth dated from the late Oligocene (about 30-28 milions of years ago), and the more recent fossils are only one and a half million years old.
