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 6.1 inch 15 million year old Carcharodon tooth was found in the muddy river waters of 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 a complete black root and attractive green enamel with some lighter gray areas and flecks of orange. There are some serrations on the edge but they are not sharp and there has been some professional repair done to a 2 inch section of one edge which blends in perfectly. The green colored enamel contrasts nicely with the black root. This huge tooth comes with a custom 7 x 4.75 inch wooden stand.
