THREE CARCHARODON SHARK'S TEETH. Carcharodon megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived growing to more than 50 feet long, perhaps much more. Megalodon ate whales whose vertebrae and teeth are often found along with megalodon teeth. These large and impressive teeth are about 15 million years old and are found in up to 120 feet deep water 15 miles off the coast of South Carolina by intrepid divers who have to locate the teeth by feel since there is no visibility at the ocean bottom. There are three perfectly matched 3.25 inch long teeth (measured along the diagonal) each completely original as found with good serrations, root, and enamel with just a minor chip or two. Intact teeth are quite scarce as the vast majority of teeth found are just broken fragments. Housed in a 14 x 8 inch Riker mount.
