When Megalodons were first discovered in 1835, they were placed within the Carcharodon genus. This was because Megalodon teeth have similar serrations to those of Carcharodon carcharias. (Great White)This original classification was very wrong, Megalodons are not part of the Carcharodon genus and don't even belong to the Lamnidae family! (White sharks) Instead, Megalodons belong to the Otodontidae family and are members of the Otodus genus.
