The crazy thing is that the Carcharodon Megalodon shark went extint nearly 2 million years ago.  The Megatooth shark could reach lengths of more than 60 feet long and ate nearly 1500 pounds of food each day.  It was so large that it mostly fed on whales and other large marine animals. 

David Wentz definitely has a very rare find.  The megatooth shark tooth he now house is really cool and old.  The Carcharodon Megalodon tooth is about three inches long and looks like a black rock because it is so old.
