The Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) was the largest shark to have ever lived, dominating the prehistoric oceans between 3.6 and 20 million years ago. Growing up to an estimated 18 meters in length, this apex predator possessed some of the most powerful jaws in the history of the animal kingdom. Its serrated teeth, often measuring several inches long, are among the most iconic and sought-after fossils in the world.
A Megalodon tooth is more than a fossil—it is a direct connection to an ancient oceanic giant. The enamel, root structure, and serrations reveal how this formidable shark hunted whales, large fish, and marine mammals. Each tooth fossilizes differently depending on the minerals in the seabed, resulting in unique colors ranging from deep black and slate grey to warm browns and creams.
Collectors, paleontologists, and natural-history enthusiasts value Megalodon teeth for both their scientific importance and their striking aesthetic. Large, well-preserved specimens are considered rare, especially those with complete roots, sharp serrations, and intact enamel. Such fossils serve as remarkable reminders of a vanished world and the extraordinary scale of life that once existed in Earth’s oceans.
