13,0 cm beautiful black tooth of the Megalodon from Georgia

The 13.0 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon comes from Georgia in the USA. The tooth has a very beautiful shiny black enamel, which is due to the inclusion of pyrite in the fossilization process. The somewhat coarser serration is wonderfully preserved, palpable and sharp. The tooth has a so-called bitemark. This is a splinter in the teeth that was created during the shark's lifetime when it was crushing prey. The completely black bourelette is clearly visible. The dull brownish root of the tooth has been eroded over millions of years in the sea. The tooth comes from the upper jaw of the prehistoric giant.
