The megalodon was the largest shark of all time. Its scientific name is Carcharodon megalodon. It lived from 20 to 1.5 million years ago (mya). This giant of a shark was a huge version of the current great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). Megalodon had teeth, which are among the largest ever found, over 18 cm (7 inches) long. Fossil remains suggest that this giant shark reached a maximum length of 15.9–20.3 metres (52–67 ft) and weigh over 60 tons.
