Shopping for a 5-Inch Megalodon Tooth

Crossing the 5-inch mark is a milestone for most collectors. Teeth this size are a major step up from the more common smaller sizes, with the scale and presence that turn a single fossil into the focal point of a collection, while still sitting below the trophy prices of 6-inch specimens. Every tooth in this collection is a one-of-a-kind specimen, measured and photographed individually, so the tooth you see is the tooth you receive.

5-Inch Teeth at a Glance

How we measure

Every tooth is measured by slant height, the industry standard, taken diagonally from the tip to the farthest point of the root. This collection covers teeth from 5.00 to 5.99 inches.

What the size suggests

A common rule of thumb estimates about 10 feet of shark per inch of tooth, which would point to a megalodon somewhere around 50 feet long. Tooth position in the jaw also affects size, so treat it as a rough guide.

Typical price range

Commercial-grade 5-inch teeth usually run about $225 to $800, while collector-grade teeth with strong enamel, sharp serrations, and good color can reach $1,000 to $5,000 or more.

How rare they are

Complete teeth over 5 inches are far less common than smaller sizes, which is where prices start climbing quickly.
