Description

10.4 cm grey tooth from a megalodon with attached shell

The 10.4 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon has shiny gray-brown enamel. The narrowly tapered crown is slightly curved. The fine serrations are beautifully preserved and partially sharp. The narrow bourlette is black and almost completely visible. The gray tooth root has been slightly eroded over millions of years in the sea, and there is still a white shell remnant attached, which makes the tooth very special.
