As a present for our wedding anniversary this year, my wife got me this AMAZING fossilized Megalodon tooth! This stunning collector quality specimen was recently found in 40 feet of water off the coast of Savannah, GA. Ocean elements and feeding damage created unique chips, markings, and color to this originally white tooth, and the enamel and root are still intact. Even the serrations remain super sharp 3-5 million years later! 🦈
Megalodon was a biological marvel, dominating the oceans for more than 20 million years. Reaching sizes upwards of 50 feet in length, the largest jaw reconstruction of the behemoth measures 11 feet across and over 9 feet tall! The now-extinct shark had teeth up to 7 inches long as well as the strongest bite force of any animal in history at more than 40,000 PSI. To put that into comparison, the strongest today is the saltwater crocodile at just 3,700 PSI!
