Name:
Carcharocles megalodon Tooth
Age: Miocene
Formation: River Deposits
Location: South Carolina
Size: Tooth is 4.7 inches long
Here is a fine fossil shark tooth from South Carolina. This is a large (almost 5 inches long!) Carcharocles megalodon tooth from the Miocene River Deposits. This tooth is quite wide and has the classic arrowhead shape. The root is very solid and substantial, and the serrations are mostly intact and beautifully displayed. The glossy enamel is well preserved, and the bluish-green tint is quite striking. Both sides of the tooth are so nice, either side could be the ''display side''. This is a very nice example of a large tooth from this extinct giant white shark.
