An Australian Scientist Found A Tooth So Big That It’s Hard To Believe This Monster Actually Existed
On Victoria’s Surf Coast, amateur fossil hunter Philip Mullaly is scanning the shore for signs of ancient life. Then the sunlight catches something jutting out from a nearby rock. And soon after Mullaly realizes that he has made an incredible discovery; he has uncovered the tooth of a beast that stalked Australian waters millions of…

This shoreline is an amazing part of the world and a geologist paradise along the famous “Great ocean road”

[@graym22]

Jan Juc - Victoria, Australia is pronounced Jan (as in January) and Juc (as in chuck, but with a J). And if you had seen the great white shark that I saw, just a couple of years ago, swim under the jetty at Lorne just down the road from Jan Juc, you would realize you don't need to go back millions of years to see huge sharks. You just need to come to Australia. This shark was at least 20ft long, middle of the day, cruisin in 10ft of water under the jetty. Come to Australia and go for a swim - I dare you !!

[@mickcarson8504]

20 feet long is about 5.9 meters. It isn't that big really. We have bigger beasts at 23-25 feet (7.5 metres) long, the very mature and deadly Saltwater crocodiles. The sharks you see are only young compared to those large ones seen in deep oceans, just like squids seen at 6-8 feet long in shallow water and giants found in the oceans. Ask a Sperm Whale how big the squids that attack them are.

[@mytxmygun6300]

I'll take a rain check on that I like being alive.

[@Wombat1916]

Mick Carson Don't Sperm Whales attack giant squid for food? I've read how, back in the bad old days of whaling, the beaks of massive squid were found in the stomachs of Sperm Whales.

Kind of odd to discover a part of the vertebrae, I thought it was made of cartilage... Perhaps fossilization isn't all we have been told

[@davidletasi3322]

Shark vertebra occasionally becomes fossilized. We on a rare occasion find megalodon vertebra in our Miocene deposits here in Florida. Even bone struts found on the tail vertebra of the duck billed dinosaur EDMONTOSAURUS is frequently found in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana and South Dakota and they were composed originally of cartilage.

[@stevenhart9004]

Hi MVL fossilization is not specific to bones. It can be derived from Cartilage, feathers, hair, trees even soft bodied animals. I saw giant grubs like big sausages fossilized in Holland.
