Pyritic Megalodon Tooth (A-Grade)

This stunning massive Megalodon tooth was recovered from the seas off the coast of South Carolina. During the fossilization process it was naturally intruded with the precious mineral, pyrite, leaving this gorgeous tooth with a gold flash down the center. At a huge length of over 5" and complete with perfect serrations, this is an incredible piece for any collection or display. The tooth comes on a beautiful hardwood stand that has a turquoise and pyrite inlay, matching the preservation of the tooth. Megalodon was a giant species of shark that swam the seas of Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Australia during the Miocene to Pliocene, dying out about 3 million years ago. Despite its iconic status, we know very little about the predator, lacking any skeletal material besides the teeth. Even the jaw bones have never been found. While some estimates put Megalodon at 80+ feet in length, new studies have brought it in at a more conservative 42 feet long.

Megalodon tooth is approx 5.5" long, about 9" tall on stand, base dimensions are roughly 5"x5".
