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 6.35 inch long 4.5 inch wide 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 fairly complete black enamel on both the front and back but does have about 10-15% repair of the left side of the blade and about 10% restoration on the top of the black front root. This is an opportunity to purchase a really huge shark's tooth without paying well over $1500. Comes with a 7 x 5 inch custom wooden black stand for display.
