A cheap large 5.25 inch, Olive Green" coloured tooth from the lower jaw of a megalodon shark. Overall lacking serrations, ocean bottom found so a little battered and has mollusc borings but this is a large tooth for the money! Comes with a stand for display and a species/locality label. Found:- Miocene Period, Charleston Area, South Carolina, USA. Age:- 10 Million Years Old. Size of tooth measured on the slant from tip of tooth to root end (L1) = 13.3 cm (5.25 inches) long.
This is a very rare find. "[It] represents one of the few fossil evidences for the feeding ecology of this giant extinct shark," says Alberto Collareta of the Universit de Pisa, Italy, lead author on the new study.
It may be exciting to imagine huge carnivores like C. megalodon hunting massive prey like big whales (or, for fun, airplanes), but being a huge predator doesn't necessarily mean eating huge food. Collareta points out that modern-day great white sharks typically go after prey much smaller than themselves, such as seals and small whales. "It seems unlikely that C. megalodon preyed on a regular basis upon large baleen whales," he adds.
Catalina Pimiento of the University of Zurich, who wasn't part of this study, notes the eating habits of C. megalodon have been difficult to assess. "Most of what we 'know' has been inferred based on the great white shark's diet, and a handful of direct evidence," she says. "That's why this study is a good contribution."
But there's more to this discovery than just what was on the shark's menu. These fossils reveal that C. megalodon may have had a favourite kind of food, and the disappearance of this prey could have played a part in the giant predator's extinction.
About 2.6 million years ago, our planet was going through some major changes. The climate was cooling as the Ice Age began and this was affecting habitats, water circulation and food resources all across the oceans. At this time, many small baleen whales disappeared, while their bigger cousins became more common. It was amidst all of this change that C. megalodon vanished from the fossil record, but it has been a challenge to establish the main cause of its extinction.
"Extinction is a complex subject, especially if many factors (e.g. climate, prey, etc.) are interplaying," says Pimiento. She led a study last year that pointed to ecological changes, rather than temperature, as a more likely culprit for the extinction of C. megalodon, though teasing out which specific changes is tricky.
Collareta and his team suggest food was a factor. The cooling climate and shifting habitats may have led to the disappearance of the small whales that C. megalodon relied upon, which in turn left the shark more vulnerable to the stresses of a changing world. But the full story remains to be uncovered.

Abstract:In recent years, new findings and new methods (stable isotopes of oxygen, zinc, and nitrogen; 2D and 3D modeling; and geometric morphometric analyses of the teeth) have enhanced our knowledge of the Neogene shark fauna and its paleobiology. Several papers deal with the large Otodus (Megaselachus) species, including the construction of a 3D model, as well as insights into its lifestyle and diet. In addition, the skeletal remains of Carcharias gustrowensis, Carcharodon hastalis, and Keasius parvus and a natural tooth set of Carcharodon hubbelli have been described in the last 13 years, and the dentition of the Neogene species Carcharoides catticus, Megachasma applegatei, and Parotodus benedenii has been reconstructed. Stable isotope analyses of the teeth from the Neogene species of Araloselachus, Carcharias, Carcharodon, Galeocerdo, Hemipristris, and Mitsukurina have given insights into the trophic positions of these genera during the Neogene, and shark teeth preserved near the skeletal remains of prey animals (mammals) and shark bite traces on these remains provide direct evidence of trophic interactions. The tooth shape, fossil locality, and paleoenvironment have been used to better understand the taxa Carcharhinus dicelmai, Megalolamna paradoxodon, Pachyscyllium dachiardii, and P. distans. Among extant species, Galeorhinus galeus can be traced back to the Eocene. Alopias superciliosus, Rhincodon typus, and possibly A. vulpinus can be traced back to the Oligocene. Species present by the Miocene include Alopias vulpinus, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchoides, C. amblyrhynchos, C. albimarginatus, C. amboinensis, C. brachyurus, C. brevipinna, C. falciformis, C. glaucus, C. leucas, C. limbatus, C. longimanus, C. macloti, C. obscurus, C. perezi, C. sealei, Centrophorus granulosus, Cetorhinus maximus, Dalatias licha, Deania calcea, Galeocerdo cuvier, Glyphis glyphis, Heptranchias perlo, Isurus paucus, Lamna nasus, Negaprion brevirostris, Odontaspis ferox, Pseudocarcharias kamoharai, Sphyrna media, S. mokarran, and possibly Carcharodon carcharias. First appearing in the Pliocene are Scymnodon ringens, Somniosus rostratus, and Zameus squamulosus. For some extant species (Carcharias taurus, Hexanchus griseus, Isurus oxyrinchus, Notorynchus cepedianus, and Sphyrna zygaena), it is not clear whether the assigned Neogene teeth represent the same species. The application of new methods to more fossil shark taxa, a detailed search for shark fossils, and better knowledge of the dentition of extant species (especially those with minute-sized teeth) will further enhance our knowledge of the evolution and paleobiology of sharks.Keywords: Selachii; Miocene; Pliocene; paleobiology; ecology; Recent; megalodon
A previously described, incomplete set of fossil vertebrae from an O. megalodon individual was reported to be 11.1 m in total combined vertebral length. However, the exact same fossil individual was estimated to be only 9.2 m in total length, including the head, in yet another previous study extrapolated from the quantitative relationship between the diameters of the largest vertebrae and body lengths measured from multiple modern great white sharks.
Megalodon teeth are surprisingly common: like most sharks. are constantly lost teeth throughout the course of their life. Since megalodon swam freely in tropical and subtropical waters all over the globe, these fossils have been reported to have been found on every continent except Antarctica.
Boomstick: But don't worry the two ended up fighting and killed each other so happy ending.....except a few years later another megalodon would be found but were not talking about those three were talking about the first one
Wiz: The Megalodon has seven inch long teeth that is nearly bigger than a persons palm but since sharks are made of cartilage which is actually hard to find only perserving their teeth and since sharks are not flamboyant meaning they sink which means there could of been bigger mega's down there
Wiz: Like how it was able to jump out of the water and grab a airplane, a normal altitude for a plane is about 33,000 to 42,000 feet into the air, took missles from a battle ship crunched through the golden gate bridge
Wiz: So you know they got out and ended up creating small havoc in the amazon but this would eventually spiral out of hand and the piranhas would grow to enormous sizes they would all eventually escape the amzon and to the florida coats
It was mostly a quiet place at the beach swimmers enjoying the swim and kids running in a out of the water playfully that was until a giant fin rose above the surface the Mega shark swimming near people and snapping someone up before diving down a people scream and rush towards land
Both slamming into each other, the Mega shark attempting to bite it but missing. The piranha spinning away from the shark and biting it's fin nearly ripping it off spilling blood into the water
The megalodon spinning around in an attempt to bite it but missing as the piranha swims fast around it confusing the shark than a hrad ram right into the megalodon throwing it into a mountian the piranha pinning it as it rips off a side fin causing more blood to seap out into the ocean getting more smaller sharks attentions
The megalodon quickly grabbing its head and than ramming it into the ground causing a stir of sand as the piranha get's free and swims away followed by the mega shark The piranha swimming farther ahead of the shark than turning around and charging at the shark
