If you love the ocean and it’s history, you'll want to bring home this stunning megalodon tooth. The word megalodon means "big tooth". This species of shark dominated the oceans about 20 million years ago. It is believed through years of careful research that scientists estimate megalodon could have reached lengths of 60 feet! That’s basically a school bus with teeth. We love the contrast of the lighter crown and matte black root. Measuring 4 5/8" from the corner of the root to the tip of the tooth along the longest side. The crown is a warm taupe color with highlights of golden yellow throughout the enamel. The root is missing a piece, but it only adds to the character of this beauty. The fossil has not been restored or modified. The megalodon tooth you will receive is the exact one pictured. Reference code: MEG04
