Tooth of Carcharocles megalodon Miocene

These fossil teeth of Carcharocles megalodon , dating from the Miocene epoch (approximately 15 million years ago), are fascinating due to their size and perfectly preserved edges. Spectacular evidence of one of the largest marine predators to have existed, they fit perfectly into the spirit of cabinets of curiosities, a blend of science and natural history.

The megalodon could reach over 15 meters in length, and its teeth, constantly renewed during its life, could measure up to 18 cm, making it one of the most formidable super-predators of the prehistoric oceans.
