**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Seas, ca. 2 million years ago. A gorgeous black Megalodon tooth, with a shiny tooth surface and matte black fossilized root. Megalodon (Carcharodon megalodon, literally "big tooth"), thought to have become extinct 1.6 million years ago, is the largest known member of the shark family. Fossil reconstructions suggest Megalodon reached lengths up to 54 feet, three times larger than Great Whites. Megalodons seem to have preferred shallow, coastal waters, which would have been full of prey, and their teeth are often found along coastlines in those areas. Size: 4.75" H (12.1 cm).

Minor losses along root lost during the fossilization process, otherwise very good.
