First Megalodon Tooth Fossil Found in Deep Sea

The 3.5 million-year-old tooth, discovered 1.9 miles beneath the Pacific Ocean surface, showcases the potential of deep-sea exploration.

A 3.5 million-year-old megalodon tooth fossil has been discovered in the deep sea, marking the first time such a fossil has been found in this environment.
The tooth was found partially lodged in the seabed, about 3,000 meters (or 1.9 miles) beneath the ocean surface, situated in the expansive Pacific Ocean.
The tooth, while having a broken tip, still had its serrated edges intact, indicating it had not been eroded by ocean currents.
The discovery was made by a team of deep-sea divers with expertise in underwater operations.
The find highlights the importance of using advanced deep-diving technologies to survey the largest and least explored parts of our ocean.
