Thirteen prehistoric shark teeth found in cenote, might prove that Mérida emerged from the sea

203 For some time now, many scientists have come up with a theory about Merida, Yucatán; this theory sustains that the capital of the state of Yucatán emerged from the sea (probably a couple of million years ago). And now, with the recent discovery of a prehistoric shark teeth in the Gulf of Mexico, scientists say their theory could be proven true.

In an expedition along the Yucatan Peninsula, fifteen prehistoric teeth were found by researchers (Megalodon is the largest shark that existed about 2.5 million years ago). However, the most interesting thing about this discovery is that this supports the theory of many anthropologists who argue that the territory where the city of Merida stands today, used to be under the sea hundreds of thousands year ago. On the expedition, divers found 15 fossils of prehistoric sharks’ teeth, 13 of them of different species from each other, and some of them have been confirmed as Megalodon’s.
