Its genus placement is still debated, with authors placing it in either ''Carcharocles'', ''Megaselachus'', ''Otodus'', or ''Procarcharodon''. This is because transitional fossils have been found showing that megalodon is the final chronospecies of a lineage of giant sharks originally of the genus ''Otodus'' which evolved during the Paleocene.
