Carcharocles Angustidens

The Carcharocles angustidens were a mega-toothed shark species. They lived during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs between 33 and 22 million years ago. While there have not been many fossils found of this species outside teeth, experts suggest that the sharks were more massive than today’s great white shark and had similar morphological traits.

The sharks were thought to be 31 feet long, and the teeth are nearly four inches in diagonal length. The fossils have been found in New Zealand, North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. The Carcharocles angustidens have no extant relatives, but they are related to the megalodon.
