Megalodon means 'big tooth,' which is fitting given the size! This tooth comes from an extinct species of shark that lived 23 to 3.6 million years ago. Megalodon was one of the largest predators of all times. In fact, it was larger and heavier than Tyrannosaurus rex! This listing is for an XL Megalodon tooth from the southeastern United States! It is 6" from root to tip and is an excellent specimen for serious collectors and natural history enthusiasts. It comes with the Walnut wooden stand pictured, which has a 6" x 6" base. The total height of the stand and the tooth is approximately 7 inches!
