5.7 cm sharp tooth of the Megalodon

The 5.7 cm fossil tooth of the Carcharocles Megalodon is in a beautiful state of preservation. The serration is very sharp and fine. The shiny enamel is light brown in colour with reddish contrasts. The narrow reddish bourelette is almost perfect. The root of the tooth is slightly cracked and naturally smoothed over the many millions of years in the sea. The tooth is dagger-shaped and comes from the lower jaw of the prehistoric giant.
