Megalodon; meaning "big tooth", from Ancient Greek: μέγας megas "big, mighty" and ὀ δoύς (odoús), "tooth"

Not only was Megalodon the biggest prehistoric shark that ever lived; it was the largest Shark in history, outweighing both the modern Sharks.

Since Megalodon is known from thousands of teeth but only a few bones. Over the past century, people have come up with estimates (based n tooth size) ranging from 40 to 100 feet and weighed as much as 100 tons.

Megalodon had a diet of whales and other large marine animal.

 

The reason the teeth fossilized is due to burial and compression.

Instant death and ultimate destruction.

 

  Fossils are not simply made but require specific circumstances.

According to science the fossilization process was due to certain environmental change.  International postage:

Polished teeth:

Lapidary equipment is used to high polish these teeth. A method used to polish diamonds,ammonites, fossil wood & semi precious stones. It is a time consuming procedure required to achieve the fantastic high glossy finish on these rare, very old & very fragile Sharks teeth.  In many of them you will see your own reflection, of course no two are alike & are hands down the most beautiful teeth I have ever seen.  The finish is smooth as glass.  Pictures do not & can not do these teeth justice.  Only when one is in your hands, will you see the true beauty & the high glossy, smooth finish that will amaze yoU.

Photography:

I take photos of each individual tooth from multiple angles. This is so you are able to determine the quality of the fossil you are buying.

 

I attempt to get as much of the tooth in direct sunlight as possible, this brings out details not seen in shadow shots. This will also allow you to fully appreciate the fossil and make a better decision on purchasing. I use a 16mp Nikon in order to optimize photos as much as possible. I take these necessary steps in order to make you and happy and decrease error as much as possible.

 

 

The anatomy of the shark tooth:

The root of a tooth is located at the top ( upper jaw shark tooth) and at the bottom ( lower jaw shark tooth ) shark tooth. The root has two lobes which are the far right and left of the root.

Directly under the root is a bourlette, this line divides the root from the crown.

The crown is the majority of the tooth and it is the exposed part of a living shark and is always coated in enamel, The crown sometimes has fine serrations and they are lined on its left and right edges, the bottom of the tooth is often reffered to as the tip.

 

An upper Shark tooth is more of a triangular shape where as a lower shark tooth is often thinner with a V shaped root. The principle shark teeth are well shaped teeth found at the front of a sharks mouth. Posterior teeth can widen in shape and are found further back in a shark jaw. Sometimes these teeth become extremely wide and short.

 

Are these teeth genuine?

I am supplied with teeth but not with certificates of authenticity.

 

"Hey,

thank you for the beautiful specimen.

when

the tooth arrived i thought it felt real

and looked genuine but im not experienced

with fossils so i took it in to a

paleontologist at queensland museum.

I thought you might like to know that the

paleontologist did confirm the fossil is

genuine :)

Payment: eBay is Managing Payments and offers buyer protection, third parties are not required. Managing payments is a big step towards making eBay a simpler, more modern managed marketplace, and  over 4 million  sellers globally since 2018. Measurement: I have measured the teeth using the imperial method which is inches. The teeth can be anywhere from 1 - 6 inch. Each inch is divided by 16 increments which I represent with one simple number out of sixteen, eg : 3 8 (/16's) or sometimes I may use 1/4 = 4/16ths -  1/2 = 8/16ths or 3/4 = 12/16ths. 5 7 = 5 inches 7/16ths.
