Large Fossil Shark Tooth Pendant, Megalodon Tooth, with 925 Sterling Silver Cap of carved Shark Design. Miocene - 1.5 to 28 million years ago. Tooth Size: 2.5 inches along the Diagonal edge. Pendant Size (Tooth & Opal Top to Tip): 2.95 inches. Please see all my Sharks Tooth Pendants.
This gem quality fossil shark's tooth has been fully polished by hand to reveal its gorgeous natural color of dark mahogany brown towards the tooth's center, to a lighter tannish beige color along the edges. With very good, though mild serrations along both edges. It measures 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) in length along the diagonal edge, not including the bale, and capped with a custom shark design of pure 925 Sterling Silver and accented with a rich blue Australian Opal.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.
