A-Grade Megalodon Tooth (3/4) – Root Chip, Gray Fossil

You are looking at a Megalodon tooth graded A 3/4. This Megalodon tooth is missing chip out of the top side, and is gray in coloration.

Megalodon teeth are the most commonly found remains of this massive prehistoric shark—and for good reason. Built for power, each tooth features a broad triangular shape, thick structure, and finely serrated edges designed to grip and slice through large prey. Unlike many other sharks, megalodon teeth lack side cusps (small extra points), and instead show a clean cutting edge with a distinct V-shaped transition where the root meets the crown.

Each tooth sat in the jaw at a steep angle, similar to modern great white sharks, and was held in place by strong connective tissue. The side facing the tongue (lingual side) is typically more curved, while the outer (labial) side is flatter. Teeth from the front of the mouth tend to be symmetrical and upright, while those from the sides are angled and slightly asymmetrical—giving collectors insight into where the tooth may have been positioned in the jaw.

Some megalodon teeth can exceed 7 inches in length, making them the largest shark teeth ever discovered. Their size and durability are a direct reflection of the animal they came from—one of the most powerful predators to ever live.
