How does the large differ from the small coprolite?

The large is a more substantial specimen with more surface area to examine the mineralized spiral form. It is the more commanding display piece and better conveys the scale of the animal that produced it.

Is this a real fossil?

Yes. This is an authentic Megalodon coprolite - genuine fossilized shark feces from the Miocene Period. Not a cast or reproduction.

When did Megalodon go extinct?

Megalodon went extinct approximately 3.6 million years ago at the end of the Miocene, likely due to cooling ocean temperatures, declining prey populations, and competition from emerging species including early Great White Sharks.

Size Small Large

This authentic Megalodon coprolite fossil in the large size is a more substantial chunk of real, fossilized Megalodon feces - from the largest predatory shark that ever lived, which dominated the world's oceans for over 20 million years before its extinction approximately 3.6 million years ago. The large coprolite is a more imposing display specimen with more surface area to examine the mineralized structure of this extraordinary trace fossil.

The Largest Predatory Shark - And Its Largest Trace Fossil

At the large size, the characteristic form of the Megalodon coprolite is more fully expressed - the spiral structure reflecting the shark's intestinal valve is more visible, and the overall mass of the specimen communicates the scale of the animal that produced it. This real Megalodon shark poop specimen is genuine fossilized material, not a cast, presented in a glass-topped riker display case with an informational card also serving as the certificate of authenticity.
