This is a KILLER 10 million year old, CARCHAROCLES MEGALODON SHARK Tooth Fossil from South Carolina. It measures 5-3/16 inches long! It has VERY BEAUTIFUL, multi colored enamel! It is an impressive hand full to say the least! Excellent serrations and a FANTASTIC Shape and COLOR! OUTSTANDING AND UNUSUAL MOTTLED COLOR PATTERNS!!! This is a very solid, thick and heavy tooth! It looks MUCH more IMPRESSIVE in your hands than in these pictures! This tooth is a 100% guaranteed authentic fossil in it's natural state. T have been NO fillers and NO color added. T have been NO repairs or alterations whatsoever! 100% GUARANTEED! The scientific name MEGALODON means, "Big Tooth." This tooth was found while SCUBA diving in over 40 feet deep of some of the blackest and murkiest water you can imagine! Even with powerful lights you cannot see anything including your dive gauges! These teeth are found by feeling your way around on the bottom of a mucky, brackish water river w t are sting rays, sharks and even alligators! T are also very strong currents in these rivers that have claimed the lives of many very skilled SCUBA divers. Many people do not realize that most of the Carolina and other South Eastern U.S.A. teeth are found in rivers and NOT the ocean. This is due to the fact that millions of years ago the land we now stand on was covered by the sea w these teeth were buried by sand and silt and over millions of years, literally turned to stone. When the ocean receded, the rivers were formed by the ocean's tidal currents and water flowing down hill from mountains and eventually formed the coastal rivers we know today. These rivers have carved their way into the land and into the fossil layers exposing these magnificent fossil shark teeth w brave divers find them. T is a widely accepted theory in science of estimating the size of the Megalodon Shark by the diagonal length of its 4 upper front teeth. The diagonal length of a tooth is measured from the longest root corner to the tip of the tooth. This theory states that t would be approximately ten feet of shark for every one inch of tooth. This theory is based on what we know about Megalodon's distant cousin, the modern Great White Shark. This tooth measures 5-3/16 inches long which means the shark that once owned it would have been 50 feet long! Considering this theory we can also estimate that a full grown Megalodon Shark would have weighed up to 8 times as much as a full grown Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur! Can you imagine a shark that big?! Most people do not realize that a REAL shark once existed that would have dwarfed the shark from "JAWS" and the Tyrannosaurus Rex from "Jurassic Park" combined! These Shark Teeth Fossils make OUTSTANDING fish aquarium displays because no sharks were harmed in obtaining them! Kids love them and they are highly educational!
