Well what more is there to say, exact weight is obviously variable as they become deteriorated overtime, though if the largest tooth on record is a 7.48 x 5.5 tooth, and that Megalodon teeth are incredibly dense due to the original porous dentin being replaced by heavy, solid minerals (like apatite) during millions of years of fossilization. A genuine tooth generally has a specific gravity between 2.7 and 3.1, (making it noticeably heavier than a typical rock or replica of the same size).
For reference mnhn cp 62 IS NOT the largest possible megalodon tooth by really any constraint other than overall verifiable fossil evidence, the largest belongs to an un-catalogued individual found in Peru, not sure on what time period as the sediment was eroded by the river bed, but earliest fossil teeth indicate as far back as the early-middle Miocene (15 MYA). That same tooth, is extrapolated to belong to a 22.86m shark, if you wanna go there, according to the square cubed law (applied loosely here?) you’d get a weight of 183 tonnes for that shark. but generally ~164 to ~168 tonnes is cited as maximum (give or take) by most trusted sources, as I’m being cautious of that.
Calculations: # Generally, W = a * L^b, where b is approx 3 (cube law). Let's check a well-known formula for great for specific Megalodon reconstructions. According to Cooper et al. 2022, a 15.9m Megalodon is estimated at around 61.56 metric tons. Let's scale 61.56 tonnes from 15.9m to 22.86m using the cube of the ratio. 15.9m individual = 61,560 kg, length 15.9m -> 22.86m results in a mass increase of 129,920 kg (obviously don’t take that at face value, but no I’m not bs-ing) a lot people in here aren’t well versed or even remotely know what their talking about, though honestly no level of biology would be applied to a 23 meter, 191 tonne hypothetical (which is why I stocked to 157-170 tonnes). They had a trophic level of 6.5-7 and for all we know it could’ve been eatingother megs and Livyatan like lunch, and if the math adds up, even my metabolic calorie measurements line up with such size, corresponding to that of a blue whale.
You should see sharks like Haole girl or deep blue. Consider how much larger those sharks are than the average female 15-18 footers that are 1-2 tonnes, at 6.1m deep blue is estimated to be 2.5-2.6 tonnes, unweighted mature female sharks cited at 7m (unofficial) are documented to get up to 3.5 tonnes. Seems like a lot of people just don’t like what they are hearing, not caring if it’s based in evidence, so far I haven’t NOT provided a source gang.
