Dive into the captivating world of sharks, one of nature’s most misunderstood creatures. With the help of leading shark experts and other special guests, Tooth be Told separates fact from fin-ction about these oceanic Apex predators, unraveling myths and exploring ancient ancestries along the way. From the pop-culturized “great” white to the sensitive hammerhead and the mysterious megalodon, we’re reeling in the tooth about these oft-maligned marine scapegoats (or rather scapefish) … and we’re gonna need a bigger podcast.
Produced by the Houston Museum of Natural Science, this two-part special coincides with special exhibit Sharks! The Meg, The Monsters & The Myths. Visit hmns.org/exhibits for more information.

22 MAY 2023 · Dun dun. Two of the most iconic notes in cinematic history. Combined with forlorn shots of a beach and some well-placed screams, they set the stage for a wave of mass hysteria still felt each time summer draws near.
But outside of pop culture, sharks aren’t actually that scary. In fact, they’re pretty spectacular and rather vital to our ocean ecosystem. Marine biologist and “Mother of Sharks” Melissa Márquez joins us to separate fact from the fin-ction about these modern marvels of the sea, from the “great” white shark to the tiny dwarf lantern shark and everything in between.

13 JUL 2023 · None of Earth’s prehistoric sharks has captured public interest quite like the mighty megalodon. Considered one of the most fearsome creatures to ever live, this uber-large titan of the tides ruled the oceans with an iron fist — err — jaw that packed the biting power of more than six T. Rexes. Millions of years after its extinction, today’s paleontologists gather clues about meg’s life using fossilized teeth from its enormous jaws.
*NOTE: Some of the dates mentioned have come and gone with the flow of the current, but our Sharks exhibit is still bearing its mighty jaws!
Guests:
David Temple, Associate Curator of Paleontology, Houston Museum of Natural Science
Dr. Clifford Jeremiah, megalodon jaw reconstructionist and amateur shark researcher
JT, professional shark tooth hunter, sharksteeth.com
