Description: The Megalodon was possibly one of the most feared predator in Earth's history. They could reach lengths of up to 60-70 ft and was the largest marine predator ever in history to exist. They had 276 in 5 rows of teeth and like sharks today shed the teeth throughout their lifetime. The largest Megalodon tooth on record today is 7.5 inches, while Great White teeth are about 3 inches long.
Megalodons lived relatively recently in earths past. Megalodons were at their peak during the Miocene Epoch (23–5.3 million years ago), Characterized by a warm climate and significant evolutionary developments in marine and terrestrial life. They existed until late in the Pliocene Epoch (5.3–2.58 million years ago), Marked by global cooling and changes in ocean currents. The end of the Pliocene coincided with the decline and eventual extinction of the megalodon.
These teeth are 90% complete meaning they are very high quality partials.
