Megalodon Tooth (C) Phantom quartz with small calcite crystals tuckedMegalodon teeth are the fossilized remains of the Megalodon shark, an extinct creature that inhabited the oceans approximately 2. 6 million to 28 million years ago. These teeth, found in marine deposits worldwide, are highly coveted by collectors due to their impressive size and rarity. Growing up to 7 inches in length, these teeth are distinguished by their triangular shape and serrated edges, making them ideal for hunting and ripping through prey.
