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 slightly over 6 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 dark brown root and attractive medium to dark brown enamel. There are no serrations on the edge and there has been some professional repair done to smooth out some edge nicks as well as to fill some cracks in the root which blend in perfectly. The is very thick and one of the most massive Carcharodon teeth found which somewhat makes up for the needed repairs. This huge tooth comes with a custom 7 x 4.75 inch wooden stand for display.
