Megalodon Shark Teeth

Shark fossils are extremely rare because sharks have no bones, only cartilage, which does not fossilize well. Their teeth, however, are very hard. Their teeth are made of a bone-like material coated with hard enamel and they fossilize very well. Megalodon teeth are similar to those of the Great White Shark, but are much bigger, thicker, and with finer serrrations. Megalodon's jaws could open 6 feet (1.8 m) wide and 7 feet (2.1 m) high. The jaws were loosely attached by ligaments and muscles to the skull, opening extremely wide in order to swallow enormous objects. It could easily swallow a large Great White Shark whole!

Like most sharks, Megalodon's teeth were probably located in rows which rotated into use as they were needed. Most sharks have about 3-5 rows of teeth at any time. The front set does most of the work. The first two rows are used for obtaining prey, the other rows rotate into place as they are needed. As teeth are lost, broken, or worn down, they are replaced by new teeth. Megalodon may have had hundreds of teeth at one time. It did not chew their food like we do, but gulped it down whole in very large chunks.

Megalodon shark teeth make very powerful shamanic talismans, protecting the wearer from harm. Solitude, emotional transformation, and powerful protection are qualities of the shark. The megalodon shark teeth that are used in Visionary Jewels power pieces are about 15 million years old and are set in 18K GOLD. A Shaman is a medicine man or woman who might perform healing both by physical means, (herbs, massage, etc.) and by spiritual means so these pendants represent this healing energy.

Megalodon Experience

I am not normally a shark tooth kind of person but something happened to change this. On a rainy, cold day in Tucson, Arizona while at the Gem & Mineral Show, I found myself at a little motel where fossils were the theme. I was wondering why I was pulled to stop there and especially in the miserable weather. Well, as I looked around, there was this old man standing in front of a door and he beckoned to me to come there. I went and he said he had something to show me. I went in and he placed something in my hand, which I didn’t look at. Immediately, I felt myself being taken under the ocean with beautiful colors and a timeless feeling that was very joyous and powerful. When I looked at what was in my hand, it was a very big megalodon shark tooth. I feel in love with it. Although it was not for sale at any price, I found several others and purchased them. Since that day, several years ago, I have been creating these talismans of power and protection.
