Venice Megalodon Tooth 2.25"

Megalodon  posterior tooth with sharp serrations, found off the coast of Venice FL.

The Megalodon shark, 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. Fossilized teeth, found globally including Venice FL, indicate inhabitation in diverse marine settings. The exact cause of its extinction is still debated by scientists.
