Fossil Megalodon Giant Shark's Tooth
Pliocene Period, 5.2-2.5 million years B.P.Sold for (Inc. bp): £195
A Carcharocles megalodon tooth displaying some enamel. 46 grams, 67 mm
From Morocco, North Africa. Property of an Essex, UK, gentleman.
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. -
