Here we have a great partial authentic example of a fossilized megalodon shark tooth. This tooth is slightly pathological, a pathology is a form of morphological inconsistency/mutation that deviates from the norm in fossils. This is here is the quintessential introductory fossil for children and new collectors alike as many stories and long fossil journeys start with the simple gift of a classic partial megalodon tooth. This fossil tooth was found diving in an underwater Hawthorn Formation deposit in South Carolina in the USA.
The megalodon was not only the biggest and baddest prehistoric shark that ever lived, it was the largest marine predator in the history of the planet! Great white sharks would be a mere bite-size snack for these monsters. They terrorized the diverse ocean waters around the world at thier prime during the Miocene/Pliocene eras between 25. to 5.3 million years ago. This massive and extinct species of shark was estimated to grow to nearly 60 feet in length and has often been declared the greatest vertebrate predator that ever lived.
At a bargain price as complete teeth can run anywhere from 100s to 1,000s of dollars, these specimens make the perfect cheap gift for any collector as I have yet to meet someone who does think megalodon is awesome! Great on a shelf, for art projects, holiday/birthday gifts and more. But more importantly a fossil gift like this may inspire wonder in a child and a potential journey into the field of paleontology!
