Three Carcharocles megalodon teeth displaying some good polished enamel; supplied in a display frame. 41 grams total, 18-24 mm
Ex J. Shaul collection, UK.
Carcharodon megalodon is regarded as one of the largest and most powerful marine predators in vertebrate history and likely had a profound impact on structuring of the marine communities. Fossil remains indicate that this giant shark reached a length of more than 16 metres (52 ft) and also affirm that it had a cosmopolitan distribution. Scientists suggest that in life it looked like a stockier version of the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias.
