Fossil: Large Extinct Megalodon Shark tooth, 5.2 inches long. The Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) meaning "big tooth", is an extinct species of mackerel shark. The largest shake to have ever existed, it lived between 23 to 3.6 million years ago, from the Early Miocene to the Pliocene epochs. It was previously thought to be a close relative of the Great White Shark, and although taxonomically it has changed, it is believed that it resembled a Giant Great White - up to 20 metres (66 ft) long. Specimen collected in South Carolina, USA. A good complete specimen. Retaining good enamel and root. Some chipping. Specimens over 5 inches are rare and desirable. Dimensions - 5.2 inches (13.2 cms)
