Description:

Ancient Seas, Middle Miocene to End of Pliocene Eras, ca. 23 to 2.6 million years ago. This megalodon tooth is a fascinating relic of prehistoric history. Its natural coloration reflects the minerals and chemicals in the water and sediment during fossilization, while its edges, worn smooth, speak to its journey through ancient seas. Despite subtle imperfections, this classic V-shaped tooth embodies the iconic form collectors seek. Once belonging to the mighty megalodon, the largest shark to ever roam the oceans, this fossil is a powerful testament to a predator whose jaws could crush a small car! Size: 3.6" L x 2.8" W (9.1 cm x 7.1 cm)
