Ancient tooth the size of a hand that once belonged to 60ft ‘Megalodon’ shark 😱 🦈

US scientist Jessica Owens spotted the fossil, which is the size of her handIn a video posted to Facebook, Jessica gasps as she plucks the tooth from the bed of a dried-up riverbed.

After brushing away the dirt, she gleefully holds it up to reveal the shark-like gnasher is the size of her hand.“We were shocked,” Jessica said."The tooth is just incredible and it’s mind boggling that we now have a fossil on our mantel that is 3-5 million years old. Just wild." The coastal area of South Carolina was once seafloor and is known for its vast array of ancient ocean fossils.They were able to track prey in total darkness by picking up the faintest of electrical signals and, as they attacked, could open their jaw as wide as 10ft.A bloodthirsty megalodon featured in the 2018 horror flick The Meg, starring Brit action star Jason StathamIn 2018, a 3million-year-old Megalodon tooth was discovered on the Essex coastline.

But a recent theory, which has been brought to light by the University of Zurich, claims to have solved the mystery. The research states that a third of the ocean’s largest marine animals perished during the Pilocene Epoch, between 5.3 million to around 9,700 years BC.
