Alpha Megalodon Fin — Detailed Guide
A trophy from the Alpha Megalodon
The Alpha Megalodon Fin is a trophy resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. It is not learned as an engram; it is taken from a creature, and our records list a single one, the 
Alpha Megalodon. The in-game line is short: "This trophy proves your worth as a hunter."
Collecting the fin
After the kill, look in the inventory of the dead Alpha Megalodon before you harvest the body for meat and hide; the fin is waiting there. If the carcass is harvested first, or other predators eat it, the fin is not lost: it drops to the ground in a bag, so check the spot where the body lay.
The key to the Alpha Tek Cave
In both games our records list exactly one recipe that uses the fin: 
Access Tek Cave (Alpha). It takes a single fin, and the ARK Wiki confirms that one fin is required to enter the Tek Cave on its Alpha difficulty.
Weight and maps
A fin weighs 2, and up to 100 fit in a stack, so a full stack weighs 200. Our records place the item on 5 maps: The Island, The Center, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero.
