Carcharodon megalodon, the giant "Megatooth" shark, ruled all the warmwater seas during the Neogene Period [Miocene (5-24 million years ago and Pliocene (1.67-5 mya)]. At the beginning of its reign, C. megalodon was unaware of the evolution of the first hominoids on land , but would have witnessed the first monsoons and upwellings in the Arabian Sea which connected the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian Ocean. C. Magalodon is said to be related to the great white. It may have reached upwards of 65 feet long. One way of measuring the lenght of these monsters of the sea, is by equating every 1" with 10' of lenght. Fossil remains of this shark have been found throughout the world, most notably in the dark murky rivers of South Carolina.
