Megalodon, ( Carcharocles megalodon), member of an of megatooth (Otodontidae) that is considered to be the largest shark, as well as the largest, that ever lived. Attributed to megalodon have been found dating from the early (which began 23 million years ago) to the end of the (about 2.6 million years ago). The word megalodon, a of Greek root words, means “giant tooth.”.Natural history DistributionFossil remains of megalodon have been found in shallow tropical and temperate seas along the coastlines and regions of all except. During the early and middle parts of the Miocene Epoch (which lasted from 23 million to 5.3 million years ago), large seaways separated from and and from and the, which likely movement from one to another. Throughout the Miocene, megalodon distribution expanded from pockets located in the and, in the, and along the coasts of and southern to off the coasts of northern Europe, South America, southern Africa, and east Asia. During the Pliocene Epoch, however, megalodon’s geographic range contracted significantly, and it was by the end of the epoch. Physical featuresMegalodon was the largest fish ever known, a based on discoveries of hundreds of fossil and a handful of vertebrae.

Tooth-shape similarities between megalodon and modern ( Carcharodon carcharias) suggest that the two species may have been close relatives, and thus megalodon likely resembled that species in appearance—that is, as a bulky torpedo-shaped fish with a conical snout, large pectoral and dorsal fins, and a strong crescent-shaped. Estimates of body length are calculated using the statistical relationship between the size of megalodon’s fossil teeth and the teeth and body mass of modern white sharks and other living relatives. This data suggests that mature adult megalodons had a mean length of 10.2 metres (about 33.5 feet), the largest specimens measuring 17.9 metres (58.7 feet) long.
Some scientists, however, contend that the largest forms may have measured up to 25 metres (82 feet) long. Studies estimate that adult body mass ranged from roughly 30 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1,000 kg; about 66,000 pounds) to more than 65 metric tons (about 143,000 pounds), adult females being larger (in both length and mass) than adult males. Megalodon teeth are similar to those of modern white sharks in that they are triangular, serrated, and symmetrical.
They differ from modern teeth in that they are larger and thicker, the serrations on each tooth occur in regular intervals, and they possess a bourlette (a darker, chevron-shaped region near the tooth’s root). The largest megalodon tooth measures 17.8 cm (6.9 inches) in length, almost three times longer than those of modern white sharks (which are typically about 5.4 cm 2.1 inches long). In addition, megalodon possessed a ferocious bite; its bite diameter was 3 metres (about 9.8 feet), several times larger than the bite diameter of averaged-sized white sharks.

White sharks generate through the contraction of their swimming, and this heat raises the temperature of parts of the shark’s body above that of the surrounding, an called (which is a type of ).
This might have allowed megalodon to swim and hunt in colder waters, giving it access to prey in those locations. Reproduction and territorialityMegalodon is thought to have produced live young.
It is not known, however, whether the was ovoviviparous (in which are retained within the mother until they hatch) or (in which fertilized derive continuous nourishment from the mother). Estimates of body size using juvenile teeth suggest that newly birthed young may have been at least 2 metres (6.6 feet) in length.Few details are known about megalodon, but the species appears to have used nurseries for its young. A 2010 study identified a megalodon nursery along the Panamanian coast, which was characterized by the presence of juvenile teeth from various stages of life. Scientists posit that this shallow warm-water nursery provided young megalodons with access to a array of smaller, more-abundant prey and enabled adults to better intercept attacks from other predatory shark species, such as. As the young sharks grew older, it is thought that they would make forays into deeper water to pursue larger.Little is known about how individuals dispersed after they matured. Since megalodon is thought to have occupied an ecological similar to that of the white shark, some studies have assumed that megalodon likely ranged over areas comparable in size to the range of modern white sharks—about 1,000 square km (386 square miles).

POST FILTERS.A Guide to Shallow Breasts with a Wide RootLooking for the 'original' article by Venusian.Glow on shallow breasts?First and foremost: measure yourself.

What are shallow breasts with a wide root?Simply put, shallow breasts with a wide root have their breast tissue spread out much more evenly across the chest than most ladies. While most people have more projection with a smaller base, shallow breasts usually have much less projection across a larger base. Often, a person with shallow breasts has breast tissue that starts all the way up near the collarbone. What they look likeOkay, so what do shallow breasts with wide roots look like?(mostly SFW).You'll notice that the slope of the breast starts up much higher than the far right breasts. In addition, a non-negligible amount of tissue (compared to the total amount of tissue) is underneath that top half of the curve.From a top-down perspective, shallow breasts with a wide root look like.While having a shallow shape may make your breasts appear smaller than others of the same measured size, it does not mean you will need to wear a smaller size. It only means you will need to look for bras that work well with shallow breasts in that size.Right, but what do they really look like?Luckily, Venusian.Glow has done some of that legwork already! You'll notice in 3/4 and profile shots that there is a smooth curve from the collarbone down to the nipple on every person, but there doesn't seem to be much projection going on.In addition, has put together (very NSFW).
It consists of pictures of many women who all wear the same bra size but show the spectrum between projecting breasts and shallow breasts. Possible indicators of shallow breasts. Many bras, especially plunges, cut into your breast tissue at the top edge of the cup, but you never seem to be able to fill out the cup itself. The bra size you come up with using seems to be giving you a size that is much too large from what you look like. Note: this is different than the sticker shock of learning your new size (for example, going from a 36D to a 32FF).
What I mean is that when you look at other people who wear the same size bra as you, they seem to have much bigger breasts. Professional fitters often get your band size correct, but severely underestimate your cup size.
Shallow shapes are extremely common in cupsizes A-E and bandsizes 28-32. However, shallow breasts outside that range are definitely not unheard of. When you try on an unlined bra, it often seems like it's simultaneously too big and too small, like (NSFW). You are trans. You wouldn't describe your breasts' shape as round/spherical when looking at them from the side.Things to look for in a braFinding bras that work for ladies with shallow breasts and wide roots is a challenge.
Most bras have too much projection, which creates an. Specifically, here's some indicators that the bra you're looking at might work for you:.
The cups have only vertical seams, and no horizontal seams. The top edge of the cups is as close to horizontal as possible. The top edge is open (vertical), not closed (curved in towards the body).Please note: these are just suggestions for new bras, or bras that haven't been reviewed anywhere. Many bras that follow these guidelines won't work for shallow breasts, and many bras that follow none of these guidelines do work for shallow breasts. Your best bet is to look up reviews and measurements on. When there doesn't seem to be much data available on the bra you're looking at, refer back to these three points for guidance.Also note: many bras labeled as balconette follow the three guidelines above, and generally work for shallow breasts. However, balconettes generally do not work for people who wear a larger cup size but are still shallow.
