Hi Jay,

I was just flipping through your meg volume…wow, a ton of great information and piles of awesome photos.

Congratulations for sure!!! It will be a go-to on Meg for many years.

As mentioned, it will be featured in the March issue of The Ecphora.

Extensively researched, fact-checked, and grounded in fossil evidence and scientific analysis, this is, in my opinion, the best O. megalodon book written thus far. 

The book is easy to read & image-forward, with each page featuring at least one high-resolution color photo, figure, or illustration. Dr. Jay Lipoff did a fantastic job exploring this iconic prehistoric shark. Every fossil enthusiast, shark tooth hunter, or Megalodon collector should have this on their bookshelf.

Soutout to MEGALODON UNEARTHED for putting together such an incredible book packed with knowledge, detailed ID charts, stunning photography, and even highlighting excursion companies like Palmetto Fossil Excursions.

Resources like this are invaluable for our fossil community. Whether you’re a beginner trying to identify your first shark tooth or a seasoned collector chasing rare species, having accurate charts and real-world references makes all the difference.

We’re honored to be mentioned.

Donny the Megalodon and the Jawsome Miocene Adventure succeeds as a compelling work of children’s literature that introduces paleontological concepts through an engaging narrative framework. Its blend of adventure, character development, & scientific context makes it a valuable addition to classrooms, & homes. Kids follow Donny as he meets quirky ancient creatures, & discovers what it really means to be brave, kind, & true to yourself. It’s science‑sprinkled fun with a big heart.

This is so much more than a coloring book! We bought a dozen to give to a group of kids at a program we work for. This book is a fun and educational tool that teaches kids good values while letting them express their creativity! A must for all kids. It talks about never giving up, bullying, and how they can be heroes in their own lives. We recommend this book highly!
