Early Miocene to Pliocene, 5-23 million years old

The term Megalodon, which translates to “big tooth,” refers to an extinct shark species that existed between roughly 23 and 5 million years ago, from the Early Miocene through the end of the Pliocene epoch. Initially classified within the Lamnidae family, it is closely related to today’s great white shark. Recognized as one of the largest predators in history, the Megalodon continues to intrigue and inspire curiosity. Scholars debate whether this formidable creature was merely an enlarged great white shark or if it still exists in the unexplored ocean depths.

Fossils of the megalodon (Otodus megalodon, once called Carcharodon or Carcharocles megalodon) date back 20 million years. For 13 million years, this massive shark ruled the seas until it vanished about 2.6 million years ago. Megalodon wasn’t just the largest shark—it was among the biggest fish to have ever lived, reaching an estimated 15 to 18 meters in length, three times the size of the largest great white shark recorded. Though no complete skeleton has been found, the size of its teeth—up to 18 centimeters long—reveals its immense scale. The name megalodon means “large tooth,” and these teeth offer fascinating insights into the feeding habits of this incredible predator. Owning a piece of this history connects you directly to one of nature’s most awe-inspiring creatures.
