Megalodon shark tooth 6 11/16 inch HUGE! Fossil sharks teeth tooth

  
This one fills your hand and some as its massive blade is huge. Tooth measures 6 11/16 on the long side, 6 5/16 on the short side, and it is 4 1/2 inches wide. Solid, heavy, well fossilized tooth weighs one pound and 7 ounces!! Tooth has had repairs done to the root as there was some erosion and pitting, there is aloso enamel repair to the front display side on one corner and a little area towards the center where enamel was missing by the gum line. The back, or true front5 had enamel peel and this was repaired as well. A true megalodon monster shark, this is one of the largest most complete tooth we have seen in a few years. A wonderful East coast find. MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO, DURING THE MIOCENE TIME PERIOD, THE OCEAN WAS RAVAGED BY ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST FURIOUS SHARKS TO HAVE EVER EXISTED. WITH ADULT SHARKS REACHING LENGTHS OF CLOSE TO 65 FEET, AND MAXIMUM TOOTH SIZE OF 7 1/16 INCHES, THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST DEADLIEST PREDATOR TO HAVE EVER ROAMED THE OCEANS. FORTUNATELY THESE SHARKS ARE LONG GONE AND BECAME EXTINCT AROUND THE PLIOCENE EPOCH , ABOUT 2 MILLION YEARS AGO. THE FOSSILIZED REMAINS OF THE MEGALODON CAN BE FOUND WORLD WIDE. IF YOU GET A BIG TOOTH, IT IS EVEN MORE AWESOME AS THEN YOU GET TO IMAGINE THE SIZE THE SHARK WOULD HAVE BEEN AND THE FACT THAT THE SHARK HAD ROW UPON ROW OF TEETH THAT WERE RAZOR SHARP. FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND PRICE IT IS VERY SIMPLE. TEETH ARE BROKEN DOWN IN VARIOUS WAYS BY MOST DEALERS AND COLLECTORS. YOU START WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENT FOUND AND THAT IS POUNDAGE MATERIAL. THIS QUALIFIES AS HALVES AND PIECES, UP TO TEETH THAT ARE EVEN TIPPED OR HAVE A ROOT BUSTED AT THE CORNER. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST AFFORDABLE TEETH, AND THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BY DEALERS. SO FOR THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN BY PARTIALS FOR PENNIES, THOSE DAYS WERE OVER AFTER THE SEVENTIES!! COMPLETE TEETH ARE GRADED AS COMMERCIAL UP TO A GRADE, MUSEUM QUALITY TEETH.

SIZE IS GRADED FROM SMALL TO LARGE AND AFTER THE MAGICAL 6 INCH MARK THE TEETH CAN SKY ROCKET IN VALUE. REPAIRED TEETH HAVE COME ALONG WAY.

I HAVE ONLY ONE THING TO SAY AND IT IS VERY SIMPLE. FOR THOSE WHO INVEST IN TEETH, THIS IS NEWS TO THE EARS AS YOU CAN ONLY FIND SO MUCH, AND YES, THEY WILL RUN OUT AND EVENTUALLY THE FINDS WILL NOT SUPPORT THE DIVERS OUT THERE.

MY FINDS ARE MINIMAL COMPARED TO MANY YEARS AGO. WE WILL WORK WITH ANYONE AS LONG AS YOU ARE HONEST AND UP FRONT. OUR HISTORY: MY NAME IS MATTY SWILP AND I HAVE BEEN DIVING AND COLLECTING FOSSILS SINCE I WAS ABOUT 6 YEARS OLD. MY FATHER GOT ME STARTED BY TAKING ME AND MY BROTHERS TO THE LOCAL SAND MINES IN SUMMERVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE WE HUNTED SHARKS TEETH. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 18 I STARTED DIVING HEAVY AND EVENTUALLY MOVED TO BEAUFORT SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE I OPENED A STORE CALLED "STONES & BONES" WHICH MY MOTHER OPERATED FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS.

I ALSO WORKED AS A PREP ARTIST IN THE CHARLESTON MUSEUM EARLIER , AND HAVE DONATED THOUSANDS OF ITEMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. I LOVE DIVING AND COLLECTING AND NOW HAVE THE WONDERFUL TIME OF SHARING MY ADVENTURES WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN. I CAN SAY MY OLDER DAUGHTER HAS HAD GREAT TIMES TAKING VARIOUS FOSSILS TO SCHOOL FOR SHOW AND TELL. MY WIFE RUNS E-BAY NOW AND WHEN SHE CAN SHE IS MY BOAT CAPTAIN.

WHEN WE ARE DOWN SOUTH I TAKE MY KIDS TO THE RIVERS AND OCEAN TO RIDE AND SEE NATURE AND THE DOLPHINS. DIVING FOR FOSSILS HAS BEEN THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF MY LIFE IN THAT I HAVE SEEN AND SPENT PRICELESS HOURS OUT IN NATURE AND SHARED MUCH OF MY LIFE WITH MY FATHER WHO HAS BEEN MY BOAT CAPTAIN FOR WELL OVER 15 YEARS. WEATHER I FIND ONE BROKEN TOOTH OR NOTHING, I LOVE BEING OUT ON THE WATER AND EXPLORING.

PLEASE ENJOY MY FINDS AND FOSSILS AS I PRESENT THEM FOR SALE ON E-BAY. I LOVE WHAT I DO, AND I LOVE MORE THAN ANYTHING THE JOY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WHEN THEY BEHOLD SOME OF THE FOSSILS I FIND. WE HAVE A SPECIAL AND ONE OF A KIND PLANET THAT HAS AN INCREDIBLE HISTORY. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO MEET ALL OF YOU, AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU , FROM MY CUSTOMERS TO ANYONE WHO ENJOYS FOSSILS. THANKS FOR CHECKING MY E-BAY AUCTIONS.
