7.4 inch Diagonal Length Museum Quality Replica Megalodon Tooth. This is thought to be the largest verifiably measured Megalodon tooth known. This monster tooth was found in Ocucaje, Peru. It measures 190mm or 7.48″ on the slant. It resides in a private collection in Peru. It was photographed, measured and casted by Craig Sundell, a researcher for the University of Kansas back in the 90's. The tooth is not a composite and has not been restored. There is a repaired crack in the tooth because it was found broken, but was a clean break. The replica tooth offered for sale here is a direct cast from this tooth. The hands holding the tooth belong to a man 6 foot 2 inches tall. Even his big hands are dwarfed by this tooth. Very few Megalodon teeth have ever been found exceeding 7 inches. Many people who have spent their lifetime's finding and collecting Megalodon teeth have never had their hands on a 7+ inch tooth. Determining what is truly the largest Megalodon tooth found is problematic, because just like with fishing, people like to exaggerate. There's a million stories about that 7 ½" or 8″ tooth that someone found, but for some reason disappeared, never to be seen again. Large Megalodon teeth can be very valuable. One of the last high quality, non-restored Megalodon teeth over 7 inches sold for around $50,000.
