None of Earth’s prehistoric sharks has captured public interest quite like the mighty megalodon. Considered one of the most fearsome creatures to ever live, this uber-large titan of the tides ruled the oceans with an iron fist — err — jaw that packed the biting power of more than six T. Rexes. Millions of years after its extinction, today’s paleontologists gather clues about meg’s life using fossilized teeth from its enormous jaws.

*NOTE: Some of the dates mentioned have come and gone with the flow of the current, but our Sharks exhibit is still bearing its mighty jaws!

Guests:

David Temple, Associate Curator of Paleontology, Houston Museum of Natural Science
Dr. Clifford Jeremiah, megalodon jaw reconstructionist and amateur shark researcher
JT, professional shark tooth hunter, sharksteeth.com
