Carcharodon Megalodon Shark's Tooth, Even though Carcharodon megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived, growing to more than 50 feet in length, most of the teeth found are only 3-4 inches in length. Teeth over 5 inches in length are in great demand and the magic number is a full 6 inches, which is the size that every collector aspires to own. This immense 6.25 inch, 10-15 million year old Carcharodon tooth was found in the muddy river waters of Beaufort County, South Carolina. Estimating the length of a shark at about 10 feet in length to every one inch of tooth, this behemoth would be over 60 feet long. This huge tooth has fairly complete enamel on both the front and back except for some minor natural erosion on the front. The edge is smooth without any serrations. The color of the enamel is mixture of greens and browns that contrast nicely with the black root. It also comes with a custom 7 x 4.5 inch black wooden display stand.
