13.8 cm large sharp blue tooth of the Megalodon

The 13.8 cm tooth of the Carcharocles Megalodon from Indonesia has perfectly preserved and sharp serrations, with strong undulations near the root on one side. These waves in the enamel presumably occur when the tooth had too little space to grow in the shark's teeth. The enamel is richly coloured blue and shiny. The black, also shiny, bourelette is still largely intact. The grey root of the tooth is natural and not repaired. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
