This particular tooth is a 4.5 million year old Carcharocles Megalodon Shark Tooth Fossil that I personally found and recovered in very deep ocean water off the East Coast of the United States on November 1, 2006. It measures 5.43" inches long and weighs in at 13.4 oz. As you can see from the photos, it has a very impressive and beautiful multi-colored enamel! As you examine many of the Megalodon Teeth offered on the internet or eBay, you will soon realize that each and every one of them have been recovered from inland rivers or quarries. This is due to the fact that millions of years ago the land we now stand on was covered by the sea and when the ocean receded, the coastal rivers were formed. Since then, these rivers have carved their way into the fossil layers exposing many magnificent fossil shark teeth. Taking it a step further, imagine the ocean receding out to the Continental Shelf of the United States during the ice age and forming a plateau of land 40 to 50 miles further out than our present day coastline. This "new" land also had many rivers that carved their way into the fossil layers. However, during our present day and time, those particular fossil beds have once again been covered over by ocean water. Now, the only way to get to these teeth is to locate the prehistoric river beds, find the fossil formations and scuba dive to extreme depths to recover the teeth. Please note that a small percentage of our fossilized teeth have a rare white stand of star coral attached to it. W possible, we have left this rare coral formation in place. As many of you are aware, this type of coral cannot grow in fresh water rivers (such as the Cooper River) and provides further proof that your tooth was recovered from the deep ocean waters rather than an on-land quarry or an inland river. As many of you know, the Carcharocles Megalodon was a prehistoric shark that lived during the Miocene and Pliocene periods (2 to 20 million years ago). It was the largest and most ferocious top predator that has ever existed. The Megalodon was thought to be as long as 75 feet and weighed up to 75 tons. This is equivalent to 7 or 8 full grown Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaurs. A full grown female adult was the size of a greyhound bus and with a mouth as large as 11' wide x 9.5' high, they could easily attack and swallow their main food source.... warm blooded whales. The giant 6' dorsal fin sliced through the water with ease and the pectoral fins were an alarming 8' long. The massive 20' tail (from tip to tip) was as high as a 2 story building.
