12.1 cm beautifully coloured Megalodon tooth

The 12.1 cm tooth from Carcharocles megalodon has a beautiful reddish and orange colouring with blue elements. The coarse serrations are well preserved and partially sharp. The brown bourelette is also still clearly visible and well preserved. The darker brown tooth root has been slightly smoothed over millions of years in the sea. The nutrient groove in the middle of the root is clearly visible. This hole supplied the tooth with nutrients during the shark's lifetime.
