Tooth Pendant - Megalodon Tooth with Sterling Silver Cap. Miocene - 1.5to 28 million years ago. Morgan River, South Carolina, USA. Uncommonly large, this high-quality fossil shark's tooth measures an impressive 68.5 mm in length (2.7 inches) along the diagonal edge. Wearing this around your neck, you will be noticed!
The serrations are present along both edges and the well-preserved enamel is a rich. The preserved root is partially capped with solid 925 Sterling Silver and accented with a lively Australian opal of blue, green, red and orange pin-fire. 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 1.5 to 28 million years ago.
