Description

Megalodon Shark Tooth
Otodus megalodon
Miocene
North Carolina, USA
2.93 x 1.93 x 0.56 inches (7.45 x 4.91 x 1.43 cm)

This fossilized tooth comes from the prehistoric Megalodon, the largest predatory shark to ever live, which dominated the ancient oceans between 23 and 3.6 million years ago. Measuring nearly 4 inches (10 cm) in length, the specimen retains sharp serrations along the edges and a glossy enamel surface in dark gray and black tones. Megalodon teeth are among the most sought-after marine fossils, prized both for their impressive size and connection to one of prehistory's most formidable apex predators. A fine example like this would make a striking addition to any fossil collection.

[Scale: 2-inch Great White tooth]
