ABOUT THE MEGALODON AND ITS FOSSIL TEETH

Carcharocles megalodon was the largest known marine predator in Earth’s history — a massive animal that ruled the seas during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs (approximately 3.5–8 million years ago). Its ancestors (Carcharocles chubutensis, angustidens, auriculatus, aksuaticus, and Otodus obliquus) trace their lineage back over 60 million years.

The Megalodon reached lengths up to 60 feet (18 meters) and could weigh around 50 tons — making it more than three times the size of the largest Great White. Quite simply, it was one of the most awe-inspiring creatures to ever exist.

Collectibility and Value

While most fossilized Megalodon teeth measure 3–4", specimens over 6" are exceedingly rare and command significant value, especially when thick, symmetrical, and well-preserved.

To uncover a Megalodon fossil tooth of this magnitude and condition is to hold a tangible relic of prehistoric time — a collector’s dream and a showpiece of natural history.
