MEGALODON SHARK 

Megalodon Shark Tooth Midnight Gray & Green Chatoyant Enamel  4-5/16"

Megalodon Fossil Shark Tooth  

Georgia, U.S.A.

Megalodon

Miocene to Pliocene Period: 23.3 - 1.81 million years ago

The massive Megalodon shark is one of the largest and most fearsome predators that ever existed. Owning a genuine, fine quality tooth from one these terrible creatures of prehistory is the pride of many shark teeth collectors. This amazing real quality tooth came from the infamous shark known scientifically as Carcharocles megalodon - the largest and deadliest shark that ever lived.

There is something so unusual and beautiful about this tooth. First of all it is a great size which would have placed it in the mouth of a Megalodon the length of a large motorhome . This tooth which is rare for the condition it is in served to stab into the sharks victim and shear off large chunks of flesh. The root of this tooth has an elegance and is not super-wide which leaves a large part of the tooth being the crown. The crown is in rare form for a tooth this large - razor sharp and intact serrated lower bases of the edges where they meet the root. But the thing that makes this tooth amazing is the enamel that reflects dark grey on its edges and a light greenish grey in the center. It is a gorgeous tooth and an impressive handful to say the least!

It is in 100% Natural, Complete, Intact and most important in this size class Without Any Restoration or Repair. Whether it is disclosed or not, once a Megalodon tooth gets in this size range, very few grade and complete teeth without serious detracting damage are found. Restoration and repair is very common on teeth this large. Such work makes them worth a fraction in price of what a natural tooth like this specimen is worth. Five inches is considered  the "magic mark" in river Megalodon teeth and the largest teeth ever found measure up to approximately 7.5 inches. Most of the dozen and a half that exist over 7 inches have restoration and/or repair! Teeth that approach six inches are so hard to come by in a fine natural state that most collectors will accept some repair or restoration because the teeth are otherwise ugly as they were found. Furthermore, the demand for teeth this large exceeds the supply so even very bad teeth will be modified and restored to meet the insatiable demand. Large Megalodon with repair and restoration will never  appreciate in value like a natural tooth such as this specimen. Unlike all other fossils, Megalodon teeth collectors do not find such work done to fossil shark teeth acceptable or desirable and serious collectors shy away from repair or restoration. 

The experience of physically holding a large Megalodon tooth as this in your hands is hard to describe. I guarantee this tooth has absolutely NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION - a serious problem today in the Megalodon tooth market when it comes to large impressive examples such as this.  

At a length of 52 feet and weighing in excess of 60 tons, Carcharocles Megalodon was the second largest predator that ever existed on the planet, the largest being the sperm whale. Megalodon was larger and heavier than T. rex . Scientific reconstructions of this shark estimate the dorsal fin to be 5.5 feet tall, the pectoral fins at 10 feet in length and the tail over 12 feet high. If you were unfortunate enough to have a Megalodon swim over you, the pectoral fins would measure 30 feet from tip to tip with a torso in excess of 10 feet thick! The jaws were so large that this shark would be able to swallow a rhinoceros whole. A predator this size would have most likely fed on large marine vertebrates, especially whales. Fossil teeth have been found in excess of 7 inches in length! Megalodon teeth are similar in geometry to the modern White Shark and scientists are still divided on the origin of the two species and if Megalodon is related to the modern great white shark. It is not fully understood why this killer became extinct but we can all be glad it is. A day on the beach just wouldn't be what it is today!
