Description
Galeocerdo mayumbensis probably reached the same size as G. artictus. Its teeth are tall and straight, and similar to those of G. latidens, being of the same height. Galeocerdo mayumbensis differs from G. aduncus by having concave rather than convex teeth. It lived alongside Megalodon.[3] G. mayumbensis probably fed on fish, marine mammals, and sea turtles.[citation needed]
