Venice Megalodon 4.11"

This Megalodon tooth from Venice, Florida, features sharp serrations, with only a few missing, and displays a intricate pattern on its reverse side.

The Megalodon, Otodus megalodon, was a massive prehistoric predator that lived about 23 to 3.6 million years ago. It could grow up to 60 feet (18 meters) long and had large, serrated teeth for hunting large marine mammals like whales. These fossils, found globally including Venice FL, indicate inhabitation in diverse marine settings. The exact cause of its extinction is still debated by scientists.
