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 the magic number is a full 6 inches which is the size that every collector aspires to own. This immense 6 inch long 5 inch wide 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 green-gray enamel on both the front and back but does have some repair of minor chipping on the blades and about 10% restoration on the front root. This is an opportunity to purchase a really huge shark's tooth without paying well over $1000. Comes with a custom black stand for display.
Add $15 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $550 - 750.
