An upper-jaw tooth from the extinct Megatooth Shark, with two teeth from a living White Shark shown for com-
parison. The Meg tooth measures 135 mm ( 5. 5 in) on the slant. The largest Meg tooth found was 17. 9 cm ( 7. 25 in)
long, suggesting an animal perhaps 17 m ( 55 ft) long.Wikimedia Commons, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/ 4 / 43
