Description

7.1 cm dagger-shaped tooth of the Megalodon

The 7.1 cm tooth of the Carcharocles Megalodon comes from the lower jaw of the prehistoric giant due to its shape. The enamel is shiny and light gray. The fine serrations are clearly visible and palpable, and some are still sharp. The narrow black bourelette is well preserved. The matte gray tooth root is relatively solid and has been naturally smoothed over millions of years in the sea.
