The prehistoric oceans were home to some of the most formidable predators the world has ever known. At the very top of that food chain was the Otodus megalodon, a creature so massive and dominant that its legacy continues to captivate fossil enthusiasts to this day. At Buried Treasure Fossils, we are proud to offer rare and museum-quality fossils that bring the grandeur of this ancient predator back to life.
One of the most remarkable pieces in our collection is a 6-5/16" Top Quality Megalodon tooth from Georgia. This extraordinary specimen is from the upper jaw’s Principal Anterior position and stands out for its sheer size, deep gray-blue coloration, and excellent preservation. Weighing over 1.25 pounds and featuring sharp serrations with a bold root structure, this is not just a fossil — it's a timeless treasure that speaks volumes about Earth's ancient marine life.
If you're searching for a true showstopper, this Megalodon tooth is an unbeatable addition to your fossil display.
A Glimpse into a Giant’s Legacy
The Otodus megalodon, often simply called Megalodon, was an apex predator that once roamed the world’s oceans with unparalleled authority. Known for its staggering size and fearsome teeth, it left behind an extensive fossil record, particularly its iconic teeth that can reach lengths over six inches.
The tooth featured here is a classic example of what makes Megalodon fossils so sought-after. At 6-5/16 inches, this upper jaw Principal Anterior tooth offers a window into the immense power and evolutionary dominance of this ancient giant. The sharp, extra-large serrations remain clearly defined, including a well-preserved tip serration.
Rare Coloration from Georgia’s Depths
What makes Georgia-sourced Megalodon teeth distinct is their coloration, and this specimen exemplifies that rare beauty. It displays a stunning dark gray and blue crown, complemented by a black bourlette that is mostly complete. These deep and vivid hues are naturally occurring, shaped by the unique mineral content of the sediment where the tooth was buried for millions of years.
Unlike fossils with surface damage or uneven coloring, this tooth boasts a smooth and rich enamel texture with minor hydration cracks — a feature that adds character without diminishing its aesthetic appeal. These cracks are a natural result of long-term mineralization and serve as a visual testament to its authenticity and age.
Rooted in Strength and Beauty
One of the standout features of this tooth is its exceptionally thick and complete root. At 1-5/8 inches in thickness, the charcoal gray root is strong, symmetrical, and highly articulated. It not only contributes to the overall visual balance of the fossil but also anchors the piece structurally. The heavy, well-preserved root also enhances the fossil’s weight and tactile presence, giving it a commanding place in any collection.
The root's robust form and coloration blend seamlessly with the crown’s hues, creating a cohesive and visually striking specimen. This type of preservation is rare among large teeth and adds significantly to the fossil’s value as a collector’s item.
Impressive Serrations and Natural Detail
Serrations are a defining feature of Megalodon teeth and play a major role in determining the quality and appeal of a specimen. This tooth exhibits sharp, extra-large serrations running along the blade, which are still very pronounced and even. The presence of a well-formed tip serration is especially notable, as this area is often the first to experience wear or breakage.
The edges are clean and powerful, giving us insight into the effectiveness of this prehistoric predator’s bite. These details are not only visually compelling but also highlight the level of preservation that distinguishes this tooth from more common finds.
