    On a scale from one to ten, how rare is it to find a megalodon tooth that is 5 and 1/2 inches long or more?

    Question #50445. Asked by Megalodon. (Aug 21 04 1:41 PM)

    		If 1 is the rarest ever and 10 is as common as a truckload, then the score is 2.

    The largest complete megalodon tooth ever found measures just over 7"; in slant height (measure of the longest side from tip of tooth to the top of the root). Teeth this size, however, are extremely rare. There are only a few teeth in the world that measure over 7";. Smaller teeth are much more common with the average size being about 3 1/2"; - 4 1/2"; in slant height. Teeth over 5"; are uncommon and over 6"; are very rare, so the value of teeth this size is significantly greater than the smaller ones.
