How much does the tooth of a megalodon shark weigh?
The Megalodon weights about 50-60 tons. That would be the average weight of the Megalodon. But the biggest was 103 tons! WOW ! That's big!By: Dawnydawn664 and wareThe maximum weight C. megalodon could reach is, to be quite honest, unknown to science. It depends on the lenght of each specimen.For example, an average sized megalodon (between 16 to 17 metres long) would have an weight of 48,000 to 60,000 kg.Larger specimens with a lenght of 20.3 metres would have weighted 103,000 kg, according to Michael Gottfried et al.The problem is that Gottfried used, in 2008, as a basis for estimate of max. lenght and weight of C. megalodon a set of fossilized remains that included teeth with a max. height of 184.81 mm.In 2010, Vito Bertucci, a fossil collector, presented to the scientific community a fossilized megalodon tooth with a height of 193.67mm.And it is a mathematical certitude that this larger tooth did NOT belonged to the largest megalodon in the world's oceans!So, marine biologists Patrick J. Schembri et al. could have been more accurate with their avaliation of megalodon's maximum total lenght of 24 to 25 metres (79 to 82 ft).Under this last estimative, the maximum weight of a megalodon would be approximately 180,000 kg, the weight of the largest extant blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus).
