4.98 inch New Caledonia / Deep South Pacific Megalodon tooth

This is a pretty rare condition for a New Caledonia tooth period, much less one that is just shy of 5 inches. This tooth has intact enamel and even very faint serrations. Anyone who is familiar with this location knows that most Megs from here are very worn down and usually only marketable as polished teeth. This is a rare exception.

This 4.98 inch Megalodon tooth is from the South Pacific Ocean about 800 miles east of Australia near the small island of New Caledonia. Teeth from this location were found on the ocean floor at dredged depths of about 1000 feet. The permits that allowed dredging of this area expired in the early 2000's, so no new teeth from this site there after. Truly a remarkable fossil treasure from deep depths of the ocean floor.
