Megalodon Shark's Tooth. Carcharodon megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived, growing to more than 50 feet in length, and ate whales whose bones are found right alongside the huge teeth of megalodon. This immense, over-6-inch-on-the-diagonal, 15-20 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 over 60 feet long. This huge tooth has lovely grey enamel with excellent very sharp serrations. The only restoration is some crack filling and smoothing that was professionally done on the black root of the huge tooth. The appearance is quite natural with the most important part of the tooth, its blade, being superb and original. The size of this tooth is very desirable, being over the magic 6 inches.
This spectacular tooth comes with a custom stand for display, identified as Megalodon.
