Description
Pliocene Period, circa 5.2-2.5 million years B.P.. A Carcharocles megalodon tooth displaying good polished enamel. 626 grams, 15.8 cm (along edge) (6 1/4 in.).
Ex Fossils UK.From the private collection of a Lancashire gentleman.
Carcharodon megalodon is regarded as one of the largest and most powerful marine predators in vertebrate history and likely had a profound impact on structuring of the marine communities. Fossil remains indicate that this giant shark reached a length of more than 16 metres (52 ft) and also affirm that it had a cosmopolitan distribution. Scientists suggest that in life it looked like a stockier version of the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias.
