5. This is definently real. 100% Fact. There were sharks that swam the ocean that were this size, Ive seen so many pictures like this.

7. It's a regular set of jaws off some random shark. Notice that neither the jaws or the people are in focus? The camera is just aimed through the jaws and focused somewhere in between the jaws and people

8. They look a little bigger since the people are standing a couple of feet away. But the size looks pretty accurate for a prehistoric Megaladon. I once knew someone who worked with Steve Alten (author of 'MEG'), and he used to go on book tours with a real set of Megaladon shark jaws. They measured roughly 10 feet high by 8 feet wide (or vice versa, I can't remember). These may not be 'real', but they could have been cast from a real set, which isn't hard to believe since Megaladons were over 70 feet long.

10. Its from a random shark not very big if you notice on the left is a frame probaly just information about what is in the case on the right is a lobster or a shell of some sort. The Jaws are in an average size display case It certainly is not a meg it is even amall for a great white adult. The ilusion works because the jaws are at a close up and there is no reference point for us to see how far away the people are. they could be on the other side of the room

12. Not real, sorry. The jaw is a reconstruction of a megalodon jaw, but no fossilized evidence of these giants has ever been found, other than teeth.

13. This jaw is made out of fiber glass but all of the teeth are real. The guy in the black shirt is vito bertucci and spent 20 years trying to find all 184 fossalized teeth of the ancient shark megalodon. There are 9 seven inch teeth in this jaw and four of them are world recod length the largest is seven and five eights inhes (what a whopper). This jaw measures 10 feet high and 11 feet wide.
