Clash of the Prehistoric Sea Titans: Megalodon vs. Livyatan

  • Berninneit 91-97 Thompson Avenue Cowes, VIC, 3922 Australia (map)

Talk

The Megalodon was the biggest shark that ever existed. Livyatan was a giant sperm whale with teeth the size of artillery shells. Both fed on the flesh of ancient whales throughout prehistoric Victoria. What evidence have we found of these gigantic predators across the state? 

Palaeontologist Ben Francischelli will uncover the fossils that are changing the palaeontological landscape and the new evidence that has been recently uncovered by a team of citizen scientists. 

Suitable for all ages.
