Megalodon sharks are only known from fossilized teeth. Even before the Renaissance, megalodon teeth had been found, but they were believed to be the petrified tongues of dragons or snakes. In 1667, Danish naturalist Nicolaus Steno recognized that they were shark teeth. He revealed his findings in a book called The Head of a Shark Dissected.

yes
no, but they are searching for the fossil
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.
