Why is a Megalodon tooth so special?
The Megalodon is an ancient and extinct species of shark that ruled our oceans millions of years ago. The Megalodon was an apex predator and had few, if any, equals. We would like to give a number of reasons below as to why a Megalodon tooth is so special.
- The history and mystery: This titan lived between 23 million and 3.6 million years ago and was the sole ruler of our oceans. The beautiful teeth of the Megalodon are the only fossils that remain of this unique animal. This makes Megalodon teeth not only rare as the only remaining fossil, but also impressive.
- Size: Megalodon teeth are the largest of any shark species. They are considerably larger than those of any other shark species. The average length of a Megalodon tooth is between 12 and 18 cm. They are also incredibly sharp with beautiful serrated edges, which indicates their destructive bite.
- Value of a Megalodon tooth: Megalodon teeth are very popular among fossil collectors and scientists. This is because Megalodon teeth are rare, even though we currently find so many of them. The rarity is mainly due to the fact that a tooth is the only physical tangible thing from this species of shark.
How can you be sure that the Megalodon tooth you have purchased is genuine?
In addition to the fact that we at Megalodontand.nl only purchase from divers and miners, we also issue a Certificate of Authentication with each tooth. This certificate guarantees that we can say with certainty that the tooth we are selling is indeed a genuine tooth. Of course, there are several ways to tell if a tooth is real or fake. We would like to give you some tips on how to recognise a real tooth:
- Size: Megalodon teeth vary between 4 cm and 19 cm. In addition, Megalodon teeth are sometimes restored, which can make the root slightly larger and the tooth feel lighter. This does not mean that the tooth is fake. The tooth is 100% genuine, but something broke off during mining or surfacing. To restore the tooth to its full glory, the root and sometimes the enamel are restored.
- Colour: Megalodon teeth vary in colour from black, grey and red to the really rare white. The tooth can even have a blue tint. The colour of the tooth is determined by the minerals in the soil in which they were found.
- Origin: Our teeth come exclusively from the United States or Indonesia. These teeth are found in places where it has been scientifically proven that many Megalodon used to swim around.
