“Although it lived for only around 20 million years, from around 23 million to around 3.6 million years ago, megalodon is one of the most beloved predators of the ancient world.”
“"Molinia also dominates the moorland because it returns faster than other plants after a fire, making it harder for the moss layer - which is better at holding on to moisture - to return."”
“It is the only dinosaur fossil discovered in Antarctica that comes from this geological formation.”
“But figuring out what megalodon looked like and how big it was is a game of educated guesses. Because sharks have cartilaginous skeletons, they don't leave many fossils behind; for megalodon, all that remains are mostly teeth, with occasio…”
