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. This large 4.8 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 close to 50 feet long. This large tooth has a complete black root and nicely contrasting greenish gray enamel with just a couple of small cracks. There are very good serrations on the edge and most importantly, no repair. Estimated Value $800 - UP
