HUGE TOOTH FROM LARGEST SHARK. 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. This gigantic 6 inch long megalodon tooth measured on the diagonal has excellent greenish brown enamel and an intact brown root. The enamel is far above average with only a few cracks and a few minor chips at the top by the root. The all important serrations are completely intact and rather sharp which is quite rare for such a large tooth. This is the largest Carcharodon tooth that you can but without paying a fortune for a tooth just .25-.50 inch bigger. This immense tooth is about 15 million years old and was found in the muddy river waters of South Carolina by intrepid divers who have to locate the teeth by feel since there is no visibility at the river bottom.

Add $15 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $850 - 1,050.
