Natural History - Large Fossil Megalodon Giant Shark's Tooth
Lower Palaeolithic Period, circa 400,000 B.P.Sold for (Inc. bp): £650
From Carcharocles megalodon, an extinct genus of world's largest shark, displaying some good enamel and sharp serrated edges. 423 grams, 13.5 cm
Found by scuba divers, May River, South Carolina, USA.
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. -
