Tyrannosaurus Really would have had a more powerful bite than megalodon. First of all, Tyrannosaurus' teeth are designed for crushing bone. Megalodon's were designed for slicing flesh. You need more force to crush bone than to slice flesh, even if it's blubbery whale flesh. Also, Great White Sharks, which have very similar jaws to megalodon, only have a bite force of about 600 psi. If Megalodon was related to the great white, this could easily apply to its own jaws as well.
