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 a full 6 inches is the size that every collector aspires to own. This immense 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 60 feet long. This huge tooth has fairly complete enamel on both the front and back except for a two-inch section right in the center. The edge is average without any serrations. It is the color that makes this tooth special, being taupe with some flecks of orange on the front enamel which contrasts nicely with the black root. This is an opportunity to purchase a really huge 6 inch and colorful megalodon tooth without paying well over $1000.
