Worlds Biggest Shark Jaw

If you think great white sharks are big, get a load of this prehistoric monster. This is the jaw from the biggest known carnivorous fish to have ever existed, the carcharodon megalodon. These jaws are more then eight feet wide, and the teeth are over six inches long!

This specimen represents the largest species of shark. The huge jaw cam from the mouth of a 50 foot, 50 ton monster shark that lived about 20 million years ago and became extinct just 1.5 million years ago!

    April, I cannot be sure where the photo was taken. The exhibit above is a travelling exhibit so it could have been at any of their destinations.
