My marine bio teacher had a Megalodon tooth. Larger than anyone's hand - really impressive.

IIRC scientists think they died out only 1.5m years ago. That's really not that long ago...

I would. We are far too small to be considered a source of nourishment. They ate whales.

Disappointing really.... it would have been an amazingly huge shark if the jaw was real, and it has certainly inspired some impressive artwork.
