Scientific name: †Otodus megalodon (Agassiz, 1835) - Shark Tooth Location: South Carolina, USA Geological Formation: Hawthorn Formation Age: Miocene-Pliocene, (~3 -12 Million Years) Size: 96mm REF.: #J404 DESCRIPTION: Here we present this exceptional huge tooth from the authentic and famous Megalodon. It does not have any type of restoration or repair. Without a doubt it is a perfect example to understand the enormous dentition that this giant had among the giants, which has well earned the position of the largest shark that has ever existed. A real killer who had as his usual prey the huge whales. This tooth was found in the famous Hawthorn Formation deposits in South Carolina. The geological formation is traversed by several rivers, so many of these teeth are found by professional divers who locate them on the riverbed after they have been washed away from their geological formation. This is why they sometimes appear with a slightly polished look, the result of erosion by the river water over thousands of years. All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
