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 6.3 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. Tooth has a complete black root and blue-gray enamel with a few specks of orange and just a couple of edge nicks repaired on the blade. There are no serrations on the edge. The blue-gray colored enamel contrasts nicely with the black root. Comes with a custom wooden stand.
