10.3 cm brown Megalodon tooth

The 10.3 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon has a slightly curved crown and probably comes from the upper jaw of the prehistoric giant. The enamel is colored in various shades of brown and the dentition is still clearly visible. The narrower brown bourelette is slightly worn. The dark brown tooth root has been naturally smoothed over millions of years in the sea.
