Etymology 2
[edit]Noun
[edit]Meg (plural Megs)
- (colloquial) Megalodon.
- 2002, Mark Renz, Megalodon: Hunting the Hunter, page 33:
- The Bone Valley Region of Florida has multiple Miocene nursery sites in which neonate and young Meg teeth are abundant, as well as food sources. Young Megs probably consumed a lot of large fish but because fish vertebrae don't hold up well in the fossil record, it's difficult to get an accurate reading.
