10.4 cm grey shiny tooth of the Megalodon

The 10.4 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon has shiny grey enamel with scattered reddish discolouration. The dentition is still clearly visible and palpable at the tip. The slightly darker grey tooth root has been naturally worn down and smoothed over millions of years in the sea. Smaller parts of the black bourelette are still preserved. The tooth comes from the lower jaw of the prehistoric giant.
