Carcharodon Megalodon Shark's Tooth, A Large 6" Specimen Boasting Unusual Coloring with Almost All Enamel Intact. Teeth from the Carcharodon megalodon, the largest shark that ever lived, are in great demand especially teeth that are large -- 6" in length. This exceptional specimen is 15 million years old and was found in the muddy river waters of South Carolina. In estimating the length of the shark based on the size of tooth, this behemoth would have been 60 feet long. This fine specimen has near complete enamel on both the front and back except for the center section strip (common) on front side. But it is the color that makes this tooth special, being taupe with some flecks of orange on the front enamel. A fine addition to any collection for every level of collector. Perfect holiday gift giving. Estimated Value $600 - UP
