Description
Megalodon. The name itself already evokes thoughts of something huge, terrible and incredibly hungry. This giant shark is one of the largest predators in the history of our planet. Reaching a length of 15-16 m and a mass of over 35 tons, it was able to hunt any large prey.
Megalodon had a cartilaginous skeleton, which is almost never preserved in the form of fossils, so the main findings are teeth.
A megalodon tooth on a laconic metal stand is a stylish and meaningful interior element. It is a perfect gift for business partners or for people who already have everything. Needless to say what a genuine delight such a gift will cause in children!
