A giant fossil tooth from an unexpectedly lost prehistoric shark found at a world heritage site in Australia.

This tooth is well preserved, estimated at 2-2.5 million years old and belongs to Megalodon, considered one of the largest and most powerful sharks that ever lived in the ocean.

Arvid Hogstrom from Western Australia's Wildlife Park said: "It has quite obvious characteristics, so you can see the serrated edges of shark teeth, maybe it's one of the samples. Better things ever found '.
