A Carcharocles megalodon tooth displaying good polished enamel. 123 grams, 97 mm
From a Lincolnshire, UK, collection. Property of a Cambridgeshire, UK, gentleman.
Carcharocles 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. -
