Natural History - Megalodon Giant Shark Fossil Tooth
Miocene Period, circa 2 million years B.P.Sold for (Inc. bp): £286
From Carcharocles megalodon, displaying good polished enamel and sharp serrations; with information card including provenance to verso. 172 grams, 10.3 cm
From Aurora, Beaufont County, North Carolina, USA. Ex Fossils UK. From the private collection of a Lancashire 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. -
