This is a BEAUTIFUL, ENOURMOUS tooth from the infamous Megalodon Shark, (Carcharocles megalodon) from North Carolina! Was the largest known species of shark to have ever lived. It grew to over 60 feet (18 meters) in length and fed primarily on large marine mammals including whales, dolphins, seals, manatees, and even the occasional Mammoth out for a swim.
A great addition to any fossil collection or gift for aspiring paleontologists, the tooth has incredible enamel and root as well as fantastic serrations which is extremely rare on a tooth this size which are almost always very worn! The only imperfections are some patches of worn serrations and some feeding wear on the tip! Speaking of size, it measures a whopping 6.123 inches (15.55 cm) along its longest edge and 4.2 inches (10.668 cm) wide with ZERO repair, restoration, or alteration of any kind! Megalodon teeth over 6 inches are among the most sought after fossils! Natural megalodon teeth with this good a combination of root, enamel, and serrations even more so!
A fantastic piece from one of the largest and most terrifying predators to ever live! All my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity! Thank you for reading please contact me with any questions.
