Description: h 192a. — Photograph of the natural size of a tooth of the great shark, Carcharodon megalodon, from the bone-bed of the Red Crag of FeHx- stowe, Suffolk. The specimen is in the author's cabinet. It is three times the length of the largest living shark's tooth, and the fish which bore it was probably 100 feet in length. A kind of sandstone is seen adhering to a part of the surface of the tooth, which shows that this.tooth (Uke many others found in the Red Crag) had been embedded in an earlier sandy deposit (the Diestien sands) before it was washed into the Red Crag. 265
