Revisiting body size trends and nursery areas of the Neogene megatooth shark, Otodus megalodon (Lamniformes: Otodontidae), reveals Bergmann's rule possibly enhanced its gigantism in cooler waters

Kenshu Shimada et al.

Summary: This study re-examines the body size and nursery areas of the megatooth shark Otodus megalodon, finding that temperature plays a role in the shark's size, with individuals in cooler water being larger. The previously identified nursery areas may reflect temperature-dependent trends rather than reproductive strategies.

Osedax (Siboglinidae: Annelida) utilizes shark teeth for nutrition

Greg W. Rouse et al.

Summary: Jaws of a common thresher shark placed at a depth of 1000 meters in Monterey California disintegrated over 8 months, leaving behind fragments of tessellated cartilage and teeth. Two species of Osedax, O. packardorum and O. talkovici, were found to have bored into the teeth roots and were utilizing the dentin pulp as a food source. This is the first evidence of Osedax exploiting a food source other than bone, raising questions about its original food source.

First in situ documentation of a fossil tooth of the megatooth shark Otodus (Megaselachus) megalodon from the deep sea in the Pacific Ocean

Juergen Pollerspoeck et al.

Summary: This short communication describes the first reported case of observing and sampling a fossil Otodus megalodon tooth from a deep-sea location in the Pacific Ocean. The documentation of its location prior to collection allows for tentative conclusions on surrounding factors that contributed to its current state.

Trophic position of Otodus megalodon and great white sharks through time revealed by zinc isotopes

Jeremy McCormack et al.

Summary: Diet is a crucial trait of an animal's lifestyle and ecology. The use of zinc isotopes (delta Zn-66) can assess trophic levels in extant and extinct sharks. The study reveals that the Neogene megatooth shark and the great white shark occupied a similar trophic level, providing clues to the extinction of the megatooth shark.

The extinct shark Otodus megalodon was a transoceanic superpredator: Inferences from 3D modeling

Jack A. Cooper et al.

Summary: This study used a well-preserved fossil to create a three-dimensional model of the extinct Megalodon shark's body and inferred its movement and feeding ecology. The research found that Megalodon could swim faster than any modern shark species and consume prey the size of modern apex predators. Its preference for large prey helped reduce competition and provided sustained energy for long migrations. The study suggests that Megalodon played an important ecological role as a transoceanic superpredator and its extinction had significant impacts on global nutrient transfer and trophic food webs.

The size of the megatooth shark, Otodus megalodon (Lamniformes: Otodontidae), revisited

Kenshu Shimada

Summary: Otodus megalodon is a gigantic late Neogene shark that lived in tropical and temperate regions, with its huge teeth capturing the interest of the scientific community and the public. Research suggests that the estimated maximum total length of O. megalodon should be 14.2-15.3 meters, with individuals exceeding 15 meters being extremely rare.

Multiple melt source origin of the Line Islands (Pacific Ocean)

Robert Pockalny et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed a new model to explain the spatial and temporal history of the Line Islands system by combining plate-tectonic reconstructions, seamount age dates, and available geochemistry. The model identifies a new melt source region at similar to 17 degrees S, similar to 125 degrees W, which contributed to the formation of the Line Islands, Mid-Pacific Mountains, and possibly the Pukapuka Ridge.

Body length estimation of Neogene macrophagous lamniform sharks (Carcharodon and Otodus) derived from associated fossil dentitions

Victor J. Perez et al.

Summary: Research indicates that previous estimates of the size of the megatooth shark varied significantly due to different methods used, with a new method based on the summed crown width of associated fossil dentitions being proposed to mitigate this variability. This novel method resulted in a maximum body length estimate of 20 meters for the megatooth shark.
