🦈 About Megalodon and Fossil Megalodon Shark Teeth
The Megalodon shark (Carcharocles megalodon) is widely considered the most formidable predator to have ever lived. Dominating the oceans during the Miocene and early Pliocene epochs — approximately 3 to 15 million years ago — Megalodon was the undisputed apex predator of its time. With estimated lengths of up to 60 feet (18 meters) and a body mass of over 50 tons, it was more than three times longer than the largest recorded Great White Shark and up to 25 times heavier. Its jaw alone could span over 10 feet, lined with rows of serrated, triangular teeth designed to shear through flesh and bone with ease.
Unlike bones, shark skeletons are made primarily of cartilage, which doesn't fossilize well. What survives today are the Megalodon’s fossilized teeth, which have become one of the most iconic and sought-after fossils in the world. These ancient teeth are incredibly durable and can range from just under an inch to a massive 7 inches in length. Some of the most prized examples feature sharp serrations, glossy enamel, and full, unbroken roots — indicators of high-quality preservation.
Fossil Megalodon teeth are discovered in sedimentary marine deposits on every continent except Antarctica. In the United States, top fossil-hunting grounds include Florida’s Peace River and Bone Valley, South Carolina’s Lowcountry, North Carolina’s coastal rivers, and parts of California’s coastal cliffs. Internationally, countries like Morocco, Peru, Indonesia, and Japan are also rich in Miocene and Pliocene-aged deposits that yield Megalodon teeth of various sizes and colors.

Every specimen we sell is verified for authenticity with no repair or restoration — just a genuine piece of Earth’s ancient past, preserved for millions of years and ready to be treasured for generations to come.
