Re: isotopes: better than tea leaves!
I found this;
"Megalodon was an ancient shark that may have been 40 feet (12 m) long or even more. (There are a few scientists who estimate that it could have been up to 50 or 100 feet (15.5 or 31 m) long!) This is at least two or three times as long as the Great White Shark, but this is only an estimate made from many fossilized teeth and a few fossilized vertebrae that have been found. These giant teeth are the size of a person's hand! No other parts of this ancient shark have been found, so we can only guess what it looked like."
Since the picture actually showed a big great white, I think many creos would argue that's what it was.
Also, I think that the argument then, is that it would fit the degenerative picture for white sharks, as in a world which was made "good" - it would have been bigger cos it would have done better.
