Megalodon Fossil Shark Tooth – Complete

A great specimen of a complete Megalodon tooth. No restoration, complete enamel, and good serration preservation. It’s not easy getting teeth this size any more so this is a proper treasure!

The OG of big sharks, Carcharocles Megalodon ravaged the seas for some 15-25 million years, going extinct around 2.5 million years ago. Terrifying in scale, these sharks were likely 15-20m long, weighing in at 40-60 tonnes! Sharks are/were mostly cartilage, so teeth and vertebrae are the only fossilised remains.

While it was thought for many, many years that Megalodon was a distant ancestor of the Great White shark (Lamnidae family), more recent taxonomy research has reclassified Megalodon into the Otodus family.

This Megalodon tooth, like all our fossils, are genuine.
