Carcharodon

I would back our modern carcharodon, who grows to forty feet, against any plesiosaurus that ever swam the Jurassic sea. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)

Our modern carcharodon, who runs (as I have before noted) to forty feet in length, is a very respectable monster indeed, as times go; and his huge snapping teeth, which measure nearly two inches long by one and a half broad, would disdain to make two bites of the able-bodied British seaman. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)

The dimension of this species of shark equals that of the carcharodon megalodon. ❋ Unknown (1858)

Figure 51 shows a smaller tooth of the carcharodon megalodon. ❋ Unknown (1858)

It is probable, this tooth indicates the existence of a genus, which should be separated from the carcharodon, but the existence of a single tooth does not furnish all the characteristics which probably belong to it. ❋ Unknown (1858)

-- (Fig. 67.) Tooth thick and strong; roots well developed and forked; enamel similar in texture to the carcharodon, and also cracked longitudinally. ❋ Unknown (1858)

The reconstituted jawbone of the carcharodon megalodon, a monster shark that could reach as much as 43ft, is another highlight. ❋ Unknown (2009)
