Good Lifestyle

Watching the sunset while you are on a beach, slow tides touching your feet while you walk along the beach coast is one of the best moments of our lives we all want to arrive one day. But, all are not luck like this guy taking a walk on the beach of North Carolina when he stumbled on something strange that attracted his eyes. First of all, he thought he was a rock he kept in his pocket as a souvenir to remember the place, but later he discovered that there was not a rock in shape, but Oddly anything else. It was stunned that something this amazing was in his hands that changed his life forever. What did he find? You will discover soon.

The beginning

Denny Bland walked along the shore of TopSail Beach, a famous hot spot of the city of Wilmington. There would not have thought it would find something this amazing walk around the shore of the beach. He thought it was a kind of floating wood (it's a wood that was washed up to the coast through actions such as winds or tides). But the truth was something else and when it happened to know about it that he could not keep longer in his hands.

Looked

In 2015, Denny was busy enjoying his Days at the North TopSail Beach, a famous place where surfers visit the place every day to enjoy their days. He was tired and decided to sit on the sand for tanning and while it was doing that, a strange object at a few feet from where he caught his attention. Unable to understand what he was getting closer to check.

curious dnenny

Holding in his hand, he could not say what he was like it was something he did not see in his life. He was triangular and stricken (occurs due to a geological flaw) operating vertically on the body at the tip and had a dark black base that seemed almost rotten. In a way, Denny knew it was not driftwood, but something else, but what? He needed to find that. He became about it really curious, then he found a terrifying truth about it that shocked him in the heart.

Back in the past

Just like Denny, in the past, our ancestors have also discovered an object like this that they believed firmly was a language of dragon. The dinosaurs are good, but a dragon was something people do not believe because there is no evidence of that. So, was it really a language of dragon? Denny knew that this object was something and to learn more about it, he had to take it to a specialist. And from here things started to change and it was nothing less than an adventure for Denny.

What about?

As we have already said about past incidents that have occurred where ancient people have found something similar to which they relate to a monstrous being that they believed in the same worlds like ours. We can not say about the past, but what Denny found here along the beach was something extraordinary. He took the expert Cynthia Crane.

The expert

Cynthia Crane, Director of the Aurora Fossil Museum in North Carolina, met Denny who told him about the discovery he had made on the beach. He had no idea what he was, but he knew he should speak. Cynthia was very happy to see him as it was something unique. She even said she did not see anything like that in her life. She was lucky that Denny approached for further investigation. She was able to shed light on this amazing discovery that changed everything in the past.

The theory

According to a theory, this object of bizarre form was a language of a prehistoric monster which lived in this area. But there has been no idea about it. Some of the inhabitants even thought that this theory of a monster, but no one could say it for sure. Even Cynthia was not inclined to this theory, but after seeing this point she was also confused. So, is it really belonging to a monster? You will be surprised to see what it was exactly.

Need more time

Cynthia asked Denny to give this article to her, as she needed more time before she can say what she was. Denny had no problem because even he wanted to know more. Cynthia is subject to its laboratory for appropriate investigation. With the help of other colleagues in his laboratory, she put the object under observation and the team was divided in two. So, now two teams of two people each worked on the discovery. So, what did they find?

Responsibility of the team

As we have already told you, there were two teams that were now working on the object, the first team was responsible for collecting data and the second team was invited to collect some kind of information they can find in newspapers or internet. The team was also responsible for asking the location of the object and if they had some sort of information or if they had encountered something like that before.

In the laboratory

Cynthia and his team worked really hard to reach a goal that was to discover the truth about this object. Even if they could have even unique information, they would at least have something to lead their investigation in certain directions. The two teams worked very hard to discover the identity of the object, but it would take a while before you can say everything for sure.

The locals, the residents

A team responsible for collecting information on the object went to the premises where the team showed them the object. Unfortunately, there was no one who could say what it was or saw something like that before, except a person. This individual has recognized the object when one of the team members showed the photo, but there was a problem even if it did not know what it was. He told the team that the first time he saw her, he brought her but as he thought it was a worthless room, he threw it.

No progress

Meanwhile, both teams worked on their respective tasks, Denny was waiting for Cynthia's call with impatience. Unfortunately, it was almost a week and there was no news from Cynthia. Cynthia and Denny impatiently waited for information, but, as they say, good things do not come easily, the teams and Denny had to wait a little longer before you can know what Denny Denny Denny incredible had done that day. on the beach.

Inside the laboratory

In the laboratory, the atmosphere was not very good because of the fact that there was no progress. Although they took efforts, there was nothing concrete on which they can say that the research was going well. The problem was that this object was very new for archaeologists because they had never seen anything like this before. There was no information or source on which they can count on. All they had was this mysterious 6-inch 6-inch object that was literally foreign. But then, a team discovered something ...

The old legend

The team responsible for finding the information about the object was taken on an old legend that stated that in antiquity there was a huge monster about 100 feet long and surprisingly, there was a lot that has even seen this huge monster. If you go to the legend, this object could belong to this legendary monster. So, does it mean, the monster was still there in the waters? Would you believe that this old legend? No right? But the team did. This could be considered one of their desperate movements.

Go through

After hearing the legend, the team was ready to dive into the waters to see what is in the depth of the ocean. But before that, they needed a good strategy because the sea was huge and cover the whole region was almost impossible. What do you do when you want to solve a problem? You start with zero. The team has planned a map and marked some places where they thought about finding answers. Although it seemed easy, in reality, it was not.

Divers

The team contacted local divers and asked them if they were looking for research inside the ocean. Divers had pretty good knowledge of local waters and fortunately accepted. The following divers showed the marked locations where they were invited to dive to find indices on the legend monster or anything related to the object. Even divers were shown the image of the object and they were shocked to see it. But then, their work consisted of searching the waters and made it. What did they discover?

Finished search

Divers have reached marked places and research has gone for hours, but unfortunately, there was nothing but they could find. The whole survey seemed to be a waste of time and the team even thought of giving up. They almost abandoned and decided to return to Denny who was eager to answer his research. But then, there was nothing that the team could do. When they thought of stopping stopping the Cynthia survey tripled on new information information while it reads on old animals. And there he was. Everything became clear and the mystery was finally resolved.

Finally, they discovered

When Cynthia lired on the old animals that hurt the same waters where Denny found the object she was surprised when she read about Megalodon. "Megalodon was this great screaming shark who traveled the former marls on the part of Miocene-Pliocene, mainly Miocene in the middle of Miocene, who was about 15 million to five million years," said Cynthia. Wow!

It was a fossil

So it was not a language but a fossilized tooth belonging to an ancient creature. So, how big was the shark? According to the experts, for each centimeter of the tooth, the shark grows 10 feet (1 inch = 10 feet). And this tooth was 6 inches that makes this shark 60 feet long. Incredible, right? There was more to the shark.

Modern sharks

If you go to the size of this old shark, you will be surprised to know that it was three times larger than the white shark. White sharks are their modern day ancestors. But the question was, how did she grow up to be this big? White sharks are the size of 15 feet or 16 feet, but Megalodon was 60 feet! There must be a kind of reason behind that, right? And yes, there was.

The answer

"Something was happening with productivity and climate that produced this model, or with their prey and their competitors who made the species become great," said Dr. Catalina Pimiento, paleoecologist. So, it means that because of the climate that was not as bad as the way it is today, the Megalodon grew up to be this huge size. This is something we do not hear every day.

Unexpected proof

After discovering this incredible fossilized tooth, Denny was at the top of the world: "I could not have a million dollars and be happier," he said. "Even the tooth of the little shark simply excites you from you ... I felt like I was a lottery winner." But he was not the only one to get the impression of that.

Good news

When we thought it did not exist these discoveries before, one of the photographers in the Surf Gazette City said that every year, one or two megalodon teeth wash at the shore every year. And there was a man of Western Virginia who was pleased to hear this news. So what did he do with this new information?

Do one's life

Greg Smith who worked as Director of Community Relations at Camden Clark Medical Center, who then opened his own firearms shop, shared Denny's excitement. It has become so fascinated by Megalodon's teeth that he started collecting fossilized teeth. "I was trying to think of something that was good for grandfather and grandson," Greg said.

The new duo adventure

Greg and his grandson were totally in Megalodon's teeth and they started their own personal research. "Grandfather is a huge shark with a mouth as big as a garage!" Said Greg's grandson and seeing his interest in his, Greg sent him a giant tooth from his collection and as planned he loved.

A large collection

For Greg, the collection of these teeth of megalodon fossilized has become a new hobby. He started collecting them and by 2018, he had more than 1,000 megalodon teeth. It is a very proud owner of this magnificent collection. If Denny would not have discovered this incredible tooth on the beach, we do not think that Greg would have managed to collect them all and that we want him to continue to do so and add many others to his collection.

Are they even extinguished?

Although it is a relief to think that this immense shark does not swim in the waters where thousands of people surf each year because if it has been alive, things would have been very different. People would not have dared to go near the waters. Simply imagine how scary it would have been, like white sharks are not enough in the first place. But there are some who still believes that this animal is still there.

Certain rumors

There were several reports from the Baja coast in Mexico where many people claimed to have seen a big black shark hiding in the waters. And rumors spread like fire and observation of this black shark often became very often. And people even gave him a nickname, the black demon of Cortez. Was it for real? Or just a few random rumors?

A fisherman's story

Eric Mark who works as a fisherman for most of his life claimed that his boat was touched by the same creature. He even claimed to have seen the huge tail of this shark. But everything is not all that the story because we all know how these stories are changed when it comes out of the different mouth. Some say one and the other says, it was actually b. You know the case.

Leave it on time

The waters of Baja already have a very large ecosystem. Eric certainly saw a tail, but he would not have been black shark but the modern white shark that swam in the waters. But we can not always say anything but before the observation reports are confirmed. Just stick to the fact that there are a few million years ago, there was a huge creature who ruled the ocean because of the proof just before us.

The biggest shark in the world ...

The first fossils of Megalodon that were found belonged to Otodus Megalodon a.k.a Carcharodon or Carcharocles Megalodon, who is supposed to have 20 million years. This huge shark dominated the sea for 13 million years and about 3.6 million years, this huge species was wiped out of the face of the Earth. Today, to prove its existence, we have teeth that were washed up to the shore each year. You will be surprised to see what all they have eaten?

Never lived

Not only megalodon was the biggest shark in the world, but one of the biggest fish never to live on the face of the earth. Megalodon had three times more time than the current white shark that dominates the ocean today in the absence of their ancestors. According to scientists, Megalodon has grown between 15 and 18 meters of size that made this species the largest in the world. But what does Megalodon mean?

It's skeleton

Scientists do not have a complete skeleton that could tell them more about Megalodon, but based on the size of the teeth of these species, which are about 18 centimeters long, they have named this megalodon which simply means "great tooth". These teeth told scientists several other things too, like, what did they eat?

What is Megalodon ate?

"With his big serrated teeth, Megalodon would have eaten meat - the most likely whales and big fish, and probably other sharks. If you are so big that you have to eat a lot of food, a large prey is needed, "said Emam Bernard, who is a curator at the museum. So that means they could eat animals as small as dolphins and as enormous as humpback whales. But there are other amazing facts about this species that left everyone confused.

More amazing facts

As they have further studied Megalodon's feeding habits, they discovered that there were several brands cut on the surface. Not only have scientists have also discovered that the ends of the shark's teeth were broken because of any feeding activity of the frenzy they have been successful in the past. Imagine the strength they produce while eating and biting the food that literally broke the tips of their tooth.

Wide-open

In order to feed the prey as large as the whales, Megalodon had to open his wide mouth. Scientists believe that his jaw extended 2.7 of 3.4 meters wide that are large enough to swallow two human adults that too side by side. When scientists rebuilt the jaw, they were surprised to see that Megalodon had 276 teeth that proved that their bite would have been the most ruthless bite to be registered with a predator.

The forced force

When you have measured the strength of the bite, humans had a bite force of about 1,317 Newtons, while large sharks recorded the bite force of 18,216 Newtons. But it was Megalodon's bite strength that disconcerted scientists because it was estimated between 108 514 and 182.210 Newton. Although they have reconstituted the shark jaw, their main concentration was to rebuild all the body of Megalodon.

What did Megalodon look like?

Most reconstructions have shown megalodons similar to white sharks, but it has been proven afterwards. After years of research, scientists were able to recreate Megalodon's body that showed a much shorter nose than white sharks, with a pluste and almost crushed jaw. Similar to the shark, Megalodon also had extra-long pectoral fins that supported its huge weight and size in the waters. What else?

Experts say

"A lot of reconstructions have megalodon resembling a larger version of the big white shark, because for a long time, people thought to be linked. We now know that this is not the case, and Megalodon is really a different shark line that Megalodon was the last member, "said Emma. They were even able to discover the ancestor of Megalodon.

The oldest ancestor

The oldest known ancestor of Megalodon was a 55 million years old shark called Otodus obliquet. It was about 10 meters long. This shark story returns to Cretalamna Appendiculata, which was some 105 million years ago, making the Megalodian line over 100 years old. "As we found more and more fossils, we understood that the ancestor in the big white shark lived alongside Megalodon. Some scientists think they could even have been competing with each other, "said Emma.

A cosmopolitan shark

Megalodon lived in hot tropical and subtropical places extending over everyone. Megalodon's teeth were found on each continent, with the exception of Antarctica that proved the theory that Megalodon was not able to adapt to the cold. So, fundamentally, Megalodon has been found everywhere in the world's place. Basically, Megalodon dominated the oceans in everyone.

Excited researchers

"We can find many of their teeth on the east coast of North America, along the coast and at the bottom of the coves of saltwater and North Carolina rivers, South Carolina and Florida. They are also quite common on the coast of Morocco and parts of Australia. They can even be found in the United Kingdom near Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, "said Emma.

Why are megalodon's teeth so common?

Almost all fossils never found in relation to megalodon are his teeth. The shark produces teeth throughout their lives and because of their eating habits. They lose a set of teeth all weekly and all their lives, they lose up to 40,000 teeth. Their teeth are the most difficult part of the body. Although our teeth are coated with calcium phosphate, shark skeletons are in cartilage.

Predatory

"There is also a megalodon fossil found in Peru who apparently has the snack and all the teeth, with a small chain of vertebrae, although I have not seen any high quality images of this specimen," says Emma. This extraordinary fossil has helped scientists create a better image of Megalodon.

Extinguishing a mega shark

The extinction of Megalodon began when the pliocene ended about 2.6 million years ago when the Earth entered the new phase, which was global cooling. Even scientists have no idea of ​​the last living megalodon, but we think there are about 3.6 million years. There were also other species that were wiped from the face of the Earth.

Extinction

As the temperature of the earth falls, there were a large number of animals facing extinction. These include animals such as turtles and sea birds. This dramatic event has created serious consequences on the food chain at the time. The causal connection between predators and other herbivores was therefore disturbed.

Similarly, the megalodon species have also been affected by "cooling". The inevitable changes in the vicinity of Megalodon have disrupted its own predatory practices, or their prey, or would not survive the new waters or emigrated to different locations.

The cooling phase

The cooling of the surroundings led to the extinction of the megalodon in many ways. As the sharks were adapted to hot tropical conditions and when the cooling of the Earth began, it led to change in their living conditions which they were not prepared as they were usual hot water. The animals on which they lent deceased shortly after the phase causing the hunger of these huge sharks. And because of all the change in the surroundings, they started to head towards the shore and that it was the point from which their extinction started.

The beginning of the end

Megalodon began to go to the shore and scientists believed they even gave birth near the shore. But when the cooling phase has resumed shore, their newborns have been unprotected. Unable to cope with the change they had no other option but to yield to climate change. The earth became more cool and the extinction of Megalodon started.

The biggest question

On theDiscovery chain,They talked about the possibility that this species is still alive, which led so many questions and discussions between scientists. Some even accepted the fact that there is a chance that few of them could have survived the cooling phase that led to another question, are they still alive? To answer this question, Emma gave a credible answer.

But could the megalodon exist again?

"No. It's certainly not alive in deep oceans, despite what the discovery channel said in the past," Emma said. "If an animal as big as Megalodon has always lived in the oceans, we would saur it," she added further. If we think of his reason, then it makes sense. A shark of this size can not hide in the depth of the oceans, even if it tries to. There is no way to stay hidden from the world where we have technologies that can reach the deep point of the ocean.
