The 10.7 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon has a slightly curved crown and gray-blue darker enamel. The serration is clearly visible and palpable. The wider black bourelette is slightly worn. The tooth root has been naturally smoothed over millions of years in the sea. The two nutrient joints in the middle of the root are clearly visible. These joints supplied the tooth with nutrients during the shark's lifetime.
