Mrs. Tancil's biology classes were excited to see megalodon fossilized shark teeth and use the triple beam balance gram scale to record the metric measurements and use that data to calculate total mass of all teeth and percent body composition teeth are for a megalodon as well as differentiate between smaller fossilized shark teeth of various species and determine which sharks they belonged to as well. The students enjoyed the teeth!
