Small Megalodon Tooth

Sold Individually  About The Megalodon:  23 million years ago you may have thought twice about taking a dip in the ocean. That’s because the largest shark ever was still roaming the open seas looking for its next meal. The Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon), meaning "big tooth" was the greatest shark to have ever swam the ocean. For 13 million years it dominated the oceans and was considered by today's standards to be a living, biting sea monster. Estimates suggest it grew to between 15 and 18 meters in length, three times longer than the largest recorded great white shark. It was estimated to weigh between 53 to 114 tons which is equal to as many as sixteen adult male African elephants. That’s a lot of shark.  Like all sharks, Megalodon produced a crazy amount of teeth. They had five rows of over 270 sharp teeth that could grow over 7 inches long and over 4 inches wide at the base. A literal conveyor belt of triangular steak knives the size of your hand were constantly being produced
