This 3.25-inch Megalodon tooth has been professionally cleaned and hand-polished, highlighting the fossil’s natural enamel and serration pattern. It remains unrestored—no glue, resin, or reconstruction—preserving full scientific integrity. The polish enhances the tooth’s color contrast and detail without altering its structure, making it both display-worthy and authentic.
Each specimen features unique coloration and surface patterning caused by millions of years of mineralization under marine sediment. Subtle wear along the edges or root adds character and confirms its natural, unearthed origin.
Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) ruled Earth’s oceans from roughly 23 to 3.6 million years ago, during the Miocene to Pliocene epochs. Teeth like this are found in ancient seabed sediments along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America, as well as global marine deposits.
Because sharks have cartilaginous skeletons that rarely fossilize, their teeth are the most common fossil evidence of their existence—each one a fragment of oceanic prehistory.
Paleontologists estimate Megalodon size using tooth height. A widely accepted reference suggests roughly 10 feet of shark body length per 1 inch of tooth height for large adult specimens.
📏 3.25-inch tooth × 10 = ~32.5 feet (≈10 meters)
This means your specimen likely came from a shark roughly 30–35 feet long—about the length of a school bus. The largest known teeth (up to 7 inches) may have belonged to individuals over 60 feet long, making this tooth a representation of a mature predator.
Megalodon is believed to have been the largest predatory shark to ever live, preying on whales and large marine mammals. Its teeth are renowned for their thick enamel, broad triangular shape, and fine serrations—perfect for slicing through bone and blubber. This specimen reflects the classic proportions that made Megalodon the ultimate ocean hunter.
