    A Carcharocles megalodon shark tooth, with some serrations and good polished tooth enamel. 76 grams, 94 mm



    Found Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Ex The Fossil Exchange. From a private Tyneside collection, formed since the early 2000s. Accompanied by a Fossil Exchange information card.

    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.
