Angustiden : Early Megalodon Teeth

Angustiden : Early Megalodon Teeth

These specimens are from the Angustiden shark, an early ancestor of the carcharodon megalodon shark. This ancient shark lived between 15 million and 25 million years ago. The ancient sharks could grow up to 50 feet in length. The carcharodon megalodon had many rows of sharp teeth. The carcharodon teeth have a single point, often with serrated edges. These teeth vary in size from small to large. The end of the tooth or root is often preserved
