It is 4.95 inches and discovered in South Carolina. For those of you who may not know, the C. chubutensis is thought to be the direct precursor to the C. megalodon along evolutionary lines, or for those chronospecies fans it would be a form with teeth of the megalodon right before it lost it's cusplets ("right before" in evolutionary terms = many millions of years). Either way, it's a very colorful abd large example of this species.

The teeth here are between 3.4 and 4.1 inches in length. The largest, which is the 4.1 inch C. angustidens looks a bit out of place. Perhaps I will try to find an example that better fits.
