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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf a shark loses a tooth while biting into something, another tooth from the second row would replace the missing tooth within four minutes.
