Megalodon Tooth! "Whats a Megalodon?"

I received a major assignment for DMA 179. It involves researching and creating poster mock ups for a new exhibit (Not a real one) at the ROM and to design a Megalodon Tooth using a Coat Hanger, Wire, Tin Foil, Super Sculpey and an Oven!

------------------------------------------------------
Clay Megaldon tooth
1.Must be made to scale of a real Megaldon tooth
2.The model should show all details one would find with a real fossilized Megaldon tooth
3.Final model should be created with a ceramic-like modeling compound that can be harden in a standard home oven – super sculptey® is the suggested sculptured medium
4.It is strongly suggested that you may require the building of a wire armature and tinfoil base.
5.Must be painted so it resembles a real fossilized Megaldon tooth.
6.You will be required to photograph your product asset as the source model for this engagement.
------------------------------------------------------

Here are some progress pictures of me creating my tooth!

Progess!
