Its robust structure, complemented by exceptionally intact serrations, demonstrates the cutting precision that allowed the megalodon to reign supreme in the seas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exceptionally large tooth, dating from the Late Oligocene to Early Pleistocene (15.9–2.6 million years ago), stands out even among the already massive examples of the species. Specimens of this caliber are becoming increasingly rare, making this one particularly noteworthy. Recovered from ancient marine deposits, it reflects a time when the megalodon ruled Earth's oceans as the apex predator. Its sheer size and amazing condition is a testament both to the immense scale of this giant shark and the remarkable fossilization processes that have preserved it for millions of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTAXONOMY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKingdom: Animalia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhylum: Chordata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass: Chondrichthyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrder: Lamniformes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily: Otodontidae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenus: Otodus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: \u003cem\u003eOtodus megalodon\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEOLOGICAL CONTEXT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Indonesia \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: late Oligocene to the early Pleistocene (15.9-2.6 million years ago)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e5.50\" (13.97 cm) x 5.38 (13.66 cm) x 4\" (10.16 cm) \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 335 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Display Dimensions: 8\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\"H x 3.5\"D x 4.5\"W\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePROVENANCE \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecimens were acquired from the world's most prestigious private collector of Indonesian meg teeth.
