Authentic 3.46" Megalodon Tooth – Fossil Shark Tooth from Savannah, Georgia
Add a powerful piece of prehistoric ocean life to your collection with this genuine fossilized Megalodon tooth from the ancient riverbeds near Savannah, Georgia! This authentic Carcharocles megalodon tooth measures 3.46" in length and 2.72" in width, making it a well-preserved specimen from one of Earth’s most legendary apex predators.
Discovered in the dark, alligator- and shark-infested rivers of Georgia, this fossil dates back to the Pliocene-Miocene era—roughly 3 to 15 million years ago. These river systems are known for producing high-quality fossil shark teeth, often with unique mineral coloration due to the sediment-rich environment.

🦈 About Megalodon and Fossil Megalodon Shark Teeth
The Megalodon shark (Otodus megalodon) is widely considered the most formidable predator to have ever lived. Dominating the oceans during the Miocene and early Pliocene epochs — approximately 3.6 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 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.
What Makes a Megalodon Tooth Valuable?
Not all Megalodon teeth are created equal. Several key factors influence their collectible value:
-
Size: Teeth over 5 inches are significantly rarer than smaller ones and increase in value exponentially with every tenth of an inch.
-
Condition: Complete enamel, well-defined serrations, intact roots, and a visible bourlette (the darker triangular band near the root) are all indicators of exceptional quality.
-
Color: Fossil teeth can absorb minerals from their surrounding environment during fossilization. As a result, they appear in a wide array of hues — from black, gray, and brown to more rare and exotic colors like blue, red, tan, and even green.
-
Origin: Some localities are more scarce or have been collected out, increasing the value of teeth from those areas. For example, fossil teeth from Chile and certain regions of Peru are highly prized and now much harder to come by.
Why Collect Fossil Megalodon Teeth?
Owning a Megalodon tooth is like holding a piece of deep time — a preserved remnant from an ancient world that predates modern humans by millions of years. These fossils are prized not just by collectors but also by educators, museums, scientists, and gift-givers looking for something truly extraordinary.
-
Educational Value: Megalodon teeth are used to teach about evolution, paleontology, ocean ecosystems, and extinction events.
-
Gift Appeal: These fossils make unforgettable gifts for shark lovers, science enthusiasts, and fossil collectors of all ages.
-
Investment: As demand continues to grow and high-quality specimens become more difficult to source, fossil Megalodon teeth remain a strong collectible and investment item.
