5.9 cm tooth of the Megalodon from Morocco

The 5.9 cm fossil tooth of the Carcharocles Megalodon comes from the Western Sahara in Morocco. It is very rare to find fossilised teeth of the Megalodon in a good state of preservation in Morocco and they are therefore among the rarities. The tooth comes from a juvenile Megalodon and it has a beautifully preserved beige enamel and reddish-brown bourelette and tooth root. The serration is well preserved and very sharp. The tooth has minor damage but has not been repaired or restored.
