I think this maybe it, I do remember having a long piece of a bigger one ,like a pendant shape, but it's been years since I've seen it. it is possible it could show up one day, if it does I will post it. TY for asking.

Sep 12th, 2013 at 6:52:57 PM PDT by

Thanks, sorry I can't see it, but I've seen plenty

Sep 13th, 2013 at 3:13:13 AM PDT by

Megalodon teeth range from 7"-10" in most cases and are the size of an adult humans hand from about the wrist to the tip of your middle finger

Sep 12th, 2013 at 6:32:06 PM PDT by

If you go to Wiki and look under "largest Specimens" (this ever found.) One mentioned found by the "Megladon Man" was 7.6 inches That is the largest ever found. If you find any larger , please send them to me!! ASAP!!!! Lol! That is how they are measured by "the slant height" (the angled side of the tooth(the actual height is much less ,probably 6 1/4 inches- but I'm not good at calculating mathematics!). And yes, they are big as most hands, but very few like this exist- they are quite rare!

Sep 13th, 2013 at 3:12:37 AM PDT by

Not saying that these are not from an ancient shark but are you sure they are from megaldon that's a type of shark that makes any breed of shark today look like a minnow. The teeth would have to be at least the size of an adult humans hand

Sep 12th, 2013 at 12:02:39 PM PDT by

No they aren't all big, remember the teeth start small when the Megladons were little, The back teeth even of the biggest Megaldons, are generally not more than 2 " the Front teeth are much larger. the best comparison I can make is , your two front teeth are the biggest, it's the same foe Megladons.

Sep 12th, 2013 at 4:17:59 PM PDT by

Yay!

Sep 11th, 2013 at 6:22:45 PM PDT by

Thanks, Pogo, nice to have you! Good luck bidding!

Sep 12th, 2013 at 4:19:33 PM PDT by

The largest one is 2" from the highest point on top to the point. The width across is 1 1/2" across at it's widest .

Sep 8th, 2013 at 6:30:13 PM PDT by

Wow!! I was just looking at a site online that had 60 million hits! Megladons are much more popular than I could have imagined! There are movies on Youtube, too, I will have to check out! One site has fabulous teeth for sale , the biggest ones are thousands of dollars! He describes the back teeth as usually being no bigger than 2 1/2 " and those go for $80 to $200 each!

Sep 11th, 2013 at 2:17:34 AM PDT by

thanks friend

Sep 10th, 2013 at 9:25:02 PM PDT by

Not sure what I did, but you are welcome, Lol!! (The short term memory isn't the best! Hahaha!!)

Sep 11th, 2013 at 1:51:49 AM PDT by

Ah ha....my son just confirmed that ......I just get very fact oriented .....these are awesome though..I guess you learn something new everyday...thank you for the education

Sep 10th, 2013 at 1:49:28 PM PDT by

Thanks, Shelley , I'm always open to questions, and actually I had been thinking of telling you to send your son pics,doesn't hurt to have a professional authenticate them!! I was even just discussing with a friend that there are 2 people here in CT archaeologists who could also authenticate them.. There also some very good sites, if you put "Megladons " into Google search, I learned some fascinating facts myself!! It's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of a 70 ft long fish!! I swim in the ocean quite a lot and I know I'd be terrified to run into one of these!! And the idea that these were not just a hundred years old ,not thousands of years old , but millions, is just incredible to me! That I can hold the tooth of a 70 ft long shark that lived millions of yrs ago(ten to twenty-five million), is what I call awesome!!Thanks for all you questions, comments and interest.(I'm a very fact oriented person , too!)

Sep 10th, 2013 at 6:27:07 PM PDT by

There were also Juvenile megalodons, like the ones that I sold. But from the black color of Listernas these are Megs. They don't resemble rocks at all to me, I have seen those and you can tell they are rocks, these aren't. Notice the porousness look on the root parts?

Sep 10th, 2013 at 10:32:21 AM PDT by

Thanks, 02 Knight, for your support!!!. I guarantee they are not rocks!! Lol! They are TEETH!!

Sep 10th, 2013 at 12:01:02 PM PDT by

f&w

Sep 10th, 2013 at 7:00:20 AM PDT by

Thanks byronpic ,I'll fan you back !

Sep 10th, 2013 at 12:01:45 PM PDT by

Please don't think I am "fighting" with you I am not trying to my son was telling me that a lot of people from the late 1800's to the early 1900's would use rocks that were very similar in size to ancient teeth of all types of animals and pass them off as real. So please accept this as education and not as a debate. thank you....They do look nice though

Sep 10th, 2013 at 6:41:34 AM PDT by

No, Shelley , I'm sure that's true, but these , I will guarantee are teeth, the feel is different , the weight is different, the look is different .02Knight is quite right , the roots of the teeth are very obviously teeth. Take a good look at the last photo of Megladons, they have a "grain" to them that conforms to the shape of the tooth ,that is is starts up at the top wider and narrows to the point, you won't see that in rocks.

Sep 10th, 2013 at 12:08:25 PM PDT by

Great Auction......I asked my son about this who is in school to be a shark biologist and he says the megladon teeth are way to small. He said the only mega shark that could have lost those are newborns ,,,,,,I always check with my son before I get any shark items......He is wondering where you got them from?

Sep 9th, 2013 at 7:02:58 PM PDT by

I've had them at least 30 years , I don't recall where I bought them (I know I didn't find them, but many come from South Carolina or Georgia). I think it was probably from an antique dealer or flea market. I've been to so many over the years, I do wish I'd kept a record of where I bought things!! I have a bunch of little ones ,too, I haven't found, and I know I had a tall piece (less that a half , about a third of a roughly 3" tooth. Anything over 3" is very expensive. I would gues the small ones were from babies, but some of the megladons were different sizes, look at the chart on the last photo ,up top shows a number of types. There were many different kinds, most are extinct.

Sep 9th, 2013 at 8:34:23 PM PDT by

Very nice looking Megalodon teeth, this auction should do well. I have sold a couple on here myself. Listerna has 6 all at one time! Fossil collectors should take advantage of this, if not I will! Watching Listerna!! Great auction! She is correct on her pricing also.

Sep 9th, 2013 at 9:00:48 AM PDT by

Thanks, 02 Knight! They are a nice collection! I've enjoyed them for many years!! Not so easy to find these anymore!!Most are in museums now!

Sep 9th, 2013 at 9:23:38 AM PDT by

I checked online, with several sites and this group is easily $60 to several hundred dollars worth(figuring $10 each! The larger ones are worth much more!!)

Sep 9th, 2013 at 6:22:29 AM PDT by

Megladons!!Ancient Shark's Teeth! is in the Antiques category
