The Megalodon looked very similar to a Great White, but there are are some key differences between these two species. Some of these differences include a blunter nose, a more elongated mouth, a longer pectoral fin, and a very major increase in overall size!
A good way to really exemplify the size of the Megalodon is to compare it again to the Great White. A typical adult Great White measures around 15 feet in length. An adult Megalodon, however, is believed to have averaged around 50 feet in length!
