The Leviathan Melvillei lived about 12 million years ago and  It lived during the Tortonian stage of the Miocene epoch, about 9-8 million years ago (Mya), though evidence from Australia implies that either it or a close relative survived into the Zanclean stage of the Pliocene, around 5 Mya.

They were approximately 50 feet from head to tail and weighed    approximately 50 tons. 
2. They have the largest teeth of any animal now or then.  The teeth measured 14 inches long.
3.  The bite force of the Leviathan was approximately 10.8 to 18.2 tons of pressure.]]> 2017-04-17 19:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166619299 Where was the Leviathan Melvillei fossil found? roxieprice17 https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166623104 The fossils discovered in the coastal desert of Peru in the sediments of the Pisco Formation at Cerro Colorado, 35 km (22 mi) south-southwest of Ica.]]> 2017-04-17 19:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166623104 What does this tell us about the type of climate and environment that existed during the time of the Leviathan Melvillei? roxieprice17 https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166623553 We learned that Peru used to be below sea level but due to Andean tectonic activities and  climate cooling, it was raised to above sea level.]]> 2017-04-17 19:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166623553 What 3 things can scientists learn from fossils? roxieprice17 https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166625124 1. Fossils can tell us how the animal or plant looked before it was a fossil.  Fossils are     usually found in sedimentary rock.  Trapped in tar, ice or amber possibly.  Freezing, carbonization, petrifaction, mineral replacement, unaltered preservation, are the ways fossils are formed
2. Fossils tell scientists what kind of environments in which they lived.  The information is gleaned from the characteristics of the fossils, the nature of their preservation, the nature of the matrix in which they are found, the geological context of the surrounding area, and the types of other fossils found in the same assemblage.
3. Fossils can tell us about when the animal or plant lived.  Studies of the minerals and surrounding rocks help to date the fossil.]]> 2017-04-17 20:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166625124 This shows what scientists believe Leviathan Melvillei looked like. roxieprice17 https://padlet.com/roxieprice17/2vz5efrlmsw2/wish/166673982
