Megalodon was the largest predatory fish in Earth 's history.

It required around 100,000 kilocalories per day to satisfy a calorie demand as vast as its size.

Geosciences at Goethe University Frankfurt examined fossilized megalodon teeth.

The researchers extracted zinc from fossil teeth, an element that occurs in atomic variants (isotopes) of different weights.
