List of 10 most terrifying "sea monsters" in prehistoric times

In the world there once existed extremely scary "sea monsters". Fortunately, most of them are extinct and today scientists can only find their fossils.

1. Megalodon super shark

Megalodon is a giant super shark that lived in the prehistoric period of the late Oligocene and Neogene periods about 28-1.5 million years ago. This is the strongest shark and is much larger in size than today's great white sharks and is also a superior predator.

3. Basilosaurus

Basilosaurus is the scientific name for a genus of whales that lived 40 to 34 million years ago during the late Eocene.

Its fossil remains were first discovered in the southern United States (Louisiana), and were initially considered to belong to some kind of reptilian sea monster, hence the scientific name. People added the suffix "saurus" (meaning lizard), but this was later found to be incorrect.
The average Basilosaurus was about 18 m long and was considered one of the largest animals of its time.

4. Sea scorpion Jaekelopterus rhenaniae

With the same size as today's large crocodiles, Jaekelopterus rhenaniae was the most fearsome predator of its time. This scorpion hunts fish and cannibals its own species in shallow waters near the shore.
Fossils show that the giant prehistoric sea scorpion Jaekelopterus was 2.5 meters long. They are one of the two largest arthropods ever discovered.

It is known that this monster scorpion belonging to the Eurypterida group became extinct 250 million years ago.

6. Dunkleosteus

Dunkleosteus is an extinct genus of placoderms that existed during the late Devonian period, about 380–360 million years ago. Several species, such as D. terrelli, D. marsaisi, and D. magnificus, are among the largest placoderms that have ever existed.
The largest species, D. terrelli, can reach a length of 10 m and a mass of 3.6 tons, making it a super predator. Only a few other placoderms, such as the contemporaneous genus Titanichthys, can match or exceed the size of Dunkleosteus.
