Juvenile Megalodon Teeth from Peace River, Florida - Choose your own

The Otodus Megalodon, whose name literally means "big tooth" has captured the imagination of marine and fossil enthusiasts everywhere, as it truly was the largest marine predator that fossil record has ever seen! Thankfully, the Megalodon is long extinct mackerel shark species, having terrorized the warm ocean waters of the Early Miocene to the Early Pliocene epochs, approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago.
As sharks are primarily composed of soft tissue that requires some very specific conditions to fossilize, the size of the Megalodon is still up for debate. But scientists agree on models that show them reaching lengths between 34-67 feet. Unlike modern day sharks such as the Great White who attack from the soft underbelly of their prey, Megalodon would use their powerful jaws full of robust teeth to bite right through their prey.
Juvenile Megalodons lived in warm coastal waters, which is why their teeth are found in the rivers of Florida, South Carolina, and in the Calvert Cliffs formations in Maryland.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
