Megalodon ToothDescription: This is a fine example of a tooth from the most sought-after shark Carcharodon (or Charcharocles) megalodon. Notice the fine serrations present on this specimen of a shark which grew to be in excess of 20 METERS. Given the rule of thumb that 25 mm of tooth = 3 meters of length, this one would have come from a shark about 12 meters long. There is quite a degree of variability of the color of these teeth as a consequence of the minerals in the water when the deposit was formed. This one is a pleasing earth tone. This tooth comes from a recent discovery in Morocco; the first specimens were offered in the fall of 2008.
