Visitors turn out for giant sharks! Megalodon, a dominant marine predator for 15 million years before vanishing two million years ago, provides lessons for shark conservation today. Enter the shark to begin the tour.

The exhibit's central feature is a 60-foot-long walk-through metal sculpture of an adult Megalodon, complete with graphics, fossil specimens and interactives.

This view through the side of the Megalodon sculpture shows other exhibit modules and hanging models, flexible in layout.

Modular island units feature large, colorful graphics with shark-tooth-shaped display cases and various interactives.

One of the exhibit's most popular modules – a series of four Megalodon jaws from 30- to 60-foot-long sharks – is a perfect backdrop for family photos.

Touch this set of 46 Megalodon teeth (casts of an unusual intact find) and learn what scientists can discover by studying shark teeth.

The exhibit showcases hundreds of actual fossils, including a wide array of Megalodon teeth from around the world.

Growth rings are visible in shark vertebrae or "centra," much like tree rings. Turn this wheel of shark centra to magnify and count rings to estimate shark age.

This specimen-rich exhibit features real fossil specimens including shark vertebrae (or "centra"), which with teeth are the only parts of sharks that fossilize.

Learn about Megalodon's family – the megatoothed sharks – all now extinct. Their fossilized teeth, many on display, are primary tools for scientific study.
