This is a fossilized prehistoric specimen. The megalodon was the largest shark in the world and one of the largest fish to have ever existed. Estimates suggest they grew to be between 15 and 18 meters in length, which is three times longer than the largest recorded great white shark. The Megalodon had jaws lined with 276 teeth, which spanned 2.7 by 3.4 meters in width, with teeth reaching lengths of up to 18 centimeters. These creatures were alive during the Neogene Period, specifically from the middle of the Miocene to the early Pliocene Epoch (roughly 15.9 to 2.6 million years ago). These specific megalodon fossils were found in the coastal marine environment of North Carolina. You will receive the exact item pictured.
