51:48Now PlayingWhen Tim Flannery was a boy he found a fossilised tooth of a giant shark at a Port Philip Bay beach near his home. The tooth was large enough to cover his palm.
The discovery sparked an interest in palaeontology that was to inform Tim's life's work.
He embarked on a decades-long quest to uncover the secrets of the world’s largest ever predator: the great shark Otodus megalodon.
Tim passed on his love of the natural world and interest in the fossil record to his daughter, Emma, a scientist and writer.
Together they have written their own account of the evolution of the ancient super-predator they have nicknamed 'Big Meg'.
