Carcharodon Megalodon Tooth Cast - Museum-Quality Paleontological Reproduction

Carcharodon megalodon was the largest predatory shark ever to exist - a marine apex predator reaching estimated lengths of 50 to 60 feet that dominated the world's oceans from approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago. Its teeth, some exceeding 7 inches in length, are among the most prized fossils in the natural history collectibles market and one of the most immediate ways to grasp the scale of an animal that no living human has ever seen. This Carcharodon Megalodon tooth cast was molded directly from an authentic Megalodon tooth, delivering the surface detail and proportions of a real specimen.

Molded from an Authentic Megalodon Tooth

This Megalodon shark tooth fossil replica measures 5 in and captures every feature that makes Megalodon dentition so recognizable: the broad triangular crown, the serrated cutting edges, the chevron-shaped root, and the thick enamel layer built to withstand the forces generated by a bite estimated at up to 40,000 pounds per square inch. Hand-cast in compound stone in the USA and finished with an aged patina, this prehistoric ocean predator cast has the visual weight and surface character of a genuine fossil specimen.
