Summary
| Description |
Silhouette models visualising †Otodus megalodon body dimensions based on extrapolations at different total lengths. (a) ~ 16 m, (b) ~ 3 m and (c) ~ 8 m. Silhouettes created in Adobe Illustrator CC 2018. (d) Palaeoartistic reconstruction of a 16 m †O. megalodon scaled against a 165 cm human. Fin shapes are based on generalised morphometric shapes in the silhouettes whereas the reconstruction aims to capture their true biological shapes, i.e. the ceratotrichia of the tail present in all five modern analogues |
