There is much interest in the Megalodon shark amongst fossil collectors and the curious. The Megalodon shark was a giant shark that lived from about 1.5 million years ago to 18,000,000 years ago, living during the Miocene and Pliocene ages, becoming extinct during the Pliocene. It was the largest carnivorous shark and indeed the largest carnivorous fish known to have existed and may be the largest shark to have ever lived. They could grow up to 16 m in length (more than 49 feet) and had jaws over 2 m wide. It used to prey on whales and other large marine animals and was at the top of the food chain.

Like all sharks, Megalodon is a cartilaginous Fish, i.e. it has no bony skeleton but is rather largely made up of cartilage. From the fossil point of view, this means that the only part of its body likely to be fossilised are the teeth. Megalodon teeth are much sought after by collectors not least because of their sheer size and ancient age. Many other types of fossilised shark teeth are also available, but it is the Megalodon shark and its teeth that catches peoples imagination.

Below are some examples of Megalodon shark teeth for sale. Many collectors would love to add a Megalodon tooth to their collection of fossil shark teeth.
