Megalodon Tooth, 120gr, h 10.3cm, 13mln years old

Rarity and Value

This genuine fossilized Megalodon tooth represents one of nature’s most powerful symbols of prehistoric life. Measuring approximately 9–10 cm, it belonged to Otodus megalodon, the largest shark to ever inhabit Earth’s oceans. Such specimens, preserved with intact serrations and natural coloration, are highly coveted among collectors and museums for their rarity and scientific importance.

Discovery and Origin

Dating from the Miocene to Pliocene Epochs (roughly 23–3.6 million years ago), this tooth was recovered from marine deposits in North America, where sedimentary layers once formed the bed of warm coastal seas. The Megalodon — reaching lengths of up to 15–18 meters — was the apex predator of its era, preying on whales and large marine mammals with unmatched power.

Craftsmanship and Presentation

The specimen exhibits a beautifully mineralized surface in rich shades of brown, grey, and black, shaped by millions of years of fossilization. Mounted on a minimalist metal stand, it serves as both a scientific artifact and a sculptural masterpiece, capturing the grandeur and might of a vanished marine giant.
