Recent digital scans of the Titanic wreck helped discover a necklace containing a tooth from Megalodon, which lived about 23 to 3.6 million years ago, the ultra-deep-water site research company Magellan said. said said.
The necklace has been there for more than 100 years since the giant ship sank on its maiden voyage in 1912.
Digital scan images show the tooth of a prehistoric shark known scientifically as Otodus megalodon that lived 23 million years ago.
These sharks were believed to be faster than current sharks. They were big enough to eat an orca in just a few bites.
According to the company, the object was discovered during a project to create a full-size digital scan of the Titanic, the largest underwater scanning project in history.
CEO Richard Parkinson said the discovery was surprising, beautiful and breathtaking.
Parkinson said ITV Last week what was “widely misunderstood is that the Titanic is in two halves with three square miles of debris between the bow and stern.”
“The team mapped the field in enough detail that we could pick out those details.”
In early May, a digital scan of the Titanic was released showing dry images – as if the seawater had been drained – of the most famous shipwreck. This was made possible by deep sea mapping.
New insights into the ship may allow investigators to learn what caused the passenger liner to sink on its maiden voyage in 1912.
The wreck lies at a depth of 3,800m (12,500ft) in the Atlantic Ocean.
Scientists have created the first exact digital twin of the Titanic wreck as part of the largest underwater scanning project in history.
According to a press release from Magellan and filmmakers Atlantic Productions, “Scientists have uncovered the details of the tragedy and revealed fascinating information about what really happened to the crew and passengers on that fateful night of April 14, 1912.”
