Fossil Shark Tooth Charcharodon / Carcha rocles megalodon Age : Miocene Location : Collected in the Ashpoo River Bone Valley Formation. South Carolina, USA. Lenght of longest edge: 117.6 mm 
  • This  tooth is indeed a fossil! 
  • It comes from an extinct shark called Carcharocles megalodon, which lived approximately 20 to 3 million years ago during  the Miocene & Pliocene periods  
  • The word megalodon comes from Ancient Greek words meaning ‘big’ and ‘tooth’ 
  • The shark is known by various names, including the Giant ‘Mega-tooth’ Shark, Giant-toothed Shark and the Fossil Great White Shark.
  • Megalodon was distributed throughout the oceans of the world, with fossil remains found from Belgium to California; from Morocco to Peru. 
  • They are also found at a number of sites in Australia. 
  • Only the teeth, vertebrae and fin bones of the Megalodon have been found, because shark skeletons are mainly made of cartilage, which decomposes too quickly for it to become fossilised.
  • The largest chips and gouges on the tooth's blade are the norm and were caused by the shark biting down on bone.
  • The serrated edges of this tooth makes it easy to distinguish from the Isurus hastalis; the  Fossil Mako Shark Teeth, which is often found in the same deposits as megalodon.
