Definition of "Meg"

Old Meg was brave as Margaret Queen,And tall as Amazon:An old red blanket cloak she wore,A chip-hat had she on.

1818, John Keats, Meg Merrilies

My mother thought Meg a sweet child, that's what she called her, a sweet child, although she was critical of her name.'What kind of name is that,' she said.'It's short for Margaret,' I said. 'But everyone calls her Meg.''Well, that's no name for a girl, that's a scullery maid's name. I fault the mother.'

The Bone Valley Region of Florida has multiple Miocene nursery sites in which neonate and young Meg teeth are abundant, as well as food sources. Young Megs probably consumed a lot of large fish but because fish vertebrae don't hold up well in the fossil record, it's difficult to get an accurate reading.
