Ancient Seas, Middle Miocene to end of Pliocene eras, ca. 28 to 2.6 million years ago. A fossilized tooth from a prehistoric megalodon shark - the largest shark species to ever exist! The enamel is a smokey gray-blue, unpolished and naturally lustrous; some of the serrations along the peripheries are intact - running from the tip to root along the classic V shape. The serrations demonstrate the great tearing capability these sharks had- their jaws also had the strength to crush a small car - a frightening thought! Megalodons were among the largest predators the ocean ever saw, but their teeth are the only parts that have survived since their cartilage bodies could not fossilize. Size: 5.64" L x 4.13" W x 5.25" H (14.3 cm x 10.5 cm x 13.3 cm)
