Lot 854
Matched Set of Three Large 3¾" to 4" Megalodon Shark's Teeth. These three large 3 ¾" to 4" 15 million year old shark's teeth (measured on the diagonal) belong to the largest shark that ever lived--Carcharocles megalodon. These teeth are almost twice as large as the largest shark alive today, the great white shark. Carcharocles was a distant cousin of the mako shark and was as large as a bus, weighing eight to ten times more than a great white shark.
These attractive black teeth are complete except for minor chipping in the upper part of the enamel that contacts the present black roots. They all possess the shark serrations that were used to slice through anything these mammoth sharks could catch. It is known from teeth marks that they ate whales. Found today in South Carolina waterways, most of the recovered teeth are broken and incomplete. Lucky for us that these huge, vicious predators are extinct. Add $20 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $375 - 575.
