Megalodon vs. Great White Shark. Carcharodon megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived growing to more than 50 feet long, perhaps much more. Megalodon ate whales whose vertebrae and teeth are often found along with those of megalodon. This fascinating lot of three fossils has a 3.5 inch long whales tooth that was found along with megalodon teeth under 30 feet of dark water in northern Florida. The main fossil here is a gigantic 6.25 inch long megalodon tooth measured on the diagonal with excellent greenish brown and intact dark brown root. The enamel is well above average with only a few cracks and a few minor chips. The serrations are intact and just a little dull. This is the largest Carcharodon tooth that you can but without paying a fortune for a tooth just .25-.50 inch bigger. This immense tooth is about 15 million years old and was found in the river waters of South Carolina. Just to appreciate how large megalodon was, a rare very large fossilized 2.6 inch Great White Shark's teeth is also included in this lot. This 2-6 million year old complete tooth was found in the English Bay in Chile. Estimating the size of a shark at approximately 10 feet in lenght for every inch of tooth, this White would have been over 26 feet long, but compare it to the megalodon shark whose 6.25 inch long tooth translate to a shark of over 62 feet long. This museum quality shark's teeth and whale tooth collection would certainly create quite an intersting and stunning display.
