Megalodon Shark Tooth Collection. Carcharodon megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived growing to more than 50 feet in length and ate whales whose bones are found right alongside with the huge teeth of megalodon. This set of three teeth consists of an immense 6.1 inch 15 million year old Carcharodon tooth that was found in the muddy river waters of South Carolina. This greenish-gray tooth has an original root but about 50-60% of the edge of the blade has been repaired with an excellent color match. 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. Also included is a 2.5 inch 2-6 million year old Great White Shark's tooth from Chile to compare what the size difference is between a 60 foot megalodon and a 25 foot Great White Shark tooth. To complete the collection is a 2.75 inch Whale's tooth that was found in the same area as the megalodon tooth in South Carolina. This interesting collection is housed in a 12 x 8 inch Riker Mount.
