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. This large 5.9 inches long 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 almost 60 feet long. This huge tooth has light brown enamel and a dark brown root. There is some restoration on the bottom two inches of the point of the blade with excellent matching color. The top half of the blade has very good serrations as well. This is an opportunity to purchase a really huge shark's tooth without paying well over $1500. Includes a 7 x 5" custom wooden stand for display.
Add $15 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
