More than 3.6 million years ago the largest shark to ever live roamed the oceans all across the globe. The megalodon could grow to be as long as 60 feet and weigh up to 50 tons — with a jaw capable of generating up to 40,000 pounds of force. Rally’s #MEGALODON consists of 184 fossil shark teeth carefully chosen from thousands of examples and set in an 8 ft by 9.5 ft resin jaw reconstruction. Collected from various South Carolina river localities, #MEGALODON features 31 teeth measuring at least 6 inches.
