Megalodon Shark's Tooth with Coral. 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 5.85 inches long, 4.5 inch wide, 15-20 million year old Carcharodon tooth was found in the muddy river waters of South Carolina. This huge tooth is completely natural as found and has an outstanding complete brownish-beige colored enamel on the flat side of the tooth. This was the side of the tooth facing outward in the shark's jaw. The curved inside of the tooth has a lot of missing enamel but is very unusual in having six white coral colonies, the largest colony being 1.5 x 1.5 inches growing on it. No restoration was done on the tooth and the coral colonies were left intact. Comes with a 7 x 5 inch custom wooden megalodon stand for display.
