This gem-grade fossil shark's tooth. Displays a dark grey, almost black enamel coating and excellent serrations along both edges. It measures 1.4 inches in length from top to tip and capped with a custom 24 Karat, Gold Plated pendant fixture over 925 Sterling Silver. The top is accented with a rectangular-cut, faceted Amethyst gem of a bright purple color. The teeth of the giant ancient shark, Megalodon, are among the most prized specimens for the prehistoric fossil collector.
They are similar to those of today's Great White, but considerably larger. They were the largest carnivorous fish ever to have swum the oceans of our planet reaching lengths of up to 70 feet. They lived between 1.5 to 28 million years ago.
