15,3 cm beautifully colored massive tooth of the Megalodon

The 15.3 cm tooth of the Carcharocles Megalodon has an impressive length and width of 12.5 cm. With a weight of more than 500 g, the tooth is also very massive and heavy. The shiny enamel is red-brown in color with darker blue elements that become more prominent depending on the incidence of light. The dentition is for the most part still clearly visible and palpable, as well as sharp in places. The darker brown bourelette is still partially preserved. The massive and broad dark brown tooth root has been slightly smoothed over the many millions of years in the sea. The two larger nutrient grooves in the middle of the tooth root are still beautifully preserved. These were used to nourish the tooth during the shark's lifetime. An impressive massive tooth of the primeval giant from the upper jaw, whose pictures speak for themselves.
