Large Fossil Shark Tooth Pendant Megalodon, with Sterling Silver Cap Meg Teeth

  

Large Fossil Shark Tooth Pendant, Megalodon Tooth, with Sterling Silver Cap and Accented with Facetted Gem Amethyst. Miocene - 1.5 to 28 million years ago. Morgan River, South Carolina, USA. Please see all my Sharks Tooth Pendants.

This fine quality fossil shark's tooth measures 2.1 inches in length (53.35 mm) along the diagonal edge and is capped with a custom design of pure 925 Sterling Silver and Accented with a fine faceted, square-shaped Amethyst gem. An excellent fossil tooth with good coverage of medium grey fossilized enamel and good serrations along both edges. 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.
