11,6 cm large polished tooth of megalodon with interesting play of colors

The 11.6 cm polished tooth of the Megalodon shark has a relatively wide root and an attractive black - white coloration on the enamel.

Shark teeth are polished if they show damage when found, such as a blunt tip, severely worn serrations, or chipping in the enamel, the top layer. Polishing succeeds in revealing the unique colorations and structures that the surrounding rock and the minerals it contains have given off in the fossilization process. Depending on the type and strength of light incidence, different fascinating color shades and patterns can be seen.
