Description

Megalodon Shark Tooth
Otodus megalodon
Miocene
North Carolina, USA
5.91 x 4.97 x 1.37 inches (15.00 x 12.62 x 3.47 cm)

This light gray Megalodon tooth is quite nice with good enamel preservation, a fairly complete bourlette, and a solid root structure. The example of prehistoric dentition from the apex predatory shark measures nearly full 6 inches (15 cm) on edge. The fossil is large enough to be impressive but would not be a challenge to mount or showcase. This is one "fierce" fossil with excellently preserved serrations and is always a crowd favorite - and for good reason.

[Scale: 2-inch Great White tooth]
