Description

14.0 cm long and massive tooth of the Megalodon

The 14.0 cm long tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon not only has a nice length, but is also very wide with a width of 11 cm. The shiny enamel is gray-blue with light yellowish speckles. The teeth are somewhat coarser, well preserved and still sharp in places. The black, broad and massive tooth root has been slightly damaged and eroded over the many millions of years in the sea. An impressive wider tooth of the prehistoric giant comes from the upper jaw of the shark.
