This 2.20" fossil megalodon tooth comes from the Suwannee River in north Florida. Few fossils capture the imagination like a megalodon tooth, and this one is the real thing.
Smaller teeth like this are an affordable way to own a genuine megalodon tooth, and they look great on their own or as part of a set. Compare it with similar teeth in our 2 inch and under megalodon teeth collection.
Age: Miocene to Pliocene, roughly 23 to 3.6 million years old
Condition: 100% natural, no repair or restoration
Specimen #: 3144
About This Specimen
This tooth shows crisp, fine serrations along both blade edges, blue-gray enamel washed with olive and tan, and a complete, rich rust-brown root. The blade is nicely symmetrical, with a few small natural nicks near the shoulders and minor wear at the very tip, none of it restored. The photos show the exact tooth you will receive.
About the Megalodon
Otodus megalodon was the largest shark known to have ever lived, reaching 50 feet or more and hunting whales in warm oceans around the world from roughly 23 to 3.6 million years ago. Like all sharks, it replaced its teeth constantly and shed thousands in its lifetime, which is why genuine megalodon teeth are still found today in rivers, on beaches, and in offshore deposits. A megalodon tooth is recognized by its broad triangular crown, fine serrations, and the darker chevron-shaped band called the bourlette between the enamel and the root.
Where This Fossil Comes From: Suwannee River, Florida
The Suwannee River winds through north Florida, cutting through limestone and older marine sediments as it heads to the Gulf of Mexico. Divers and collectors recover fossils from its riverbed, including shark teeth, Ice Age mammal fossils, and alligator scutes. Megalodon teeth from the Suwannee are rare, which makes any tooth from this river a special find for Florida collectors.
