14.0 cm large broad tooth of the Megalodon

The 14.0 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon not only has a very good size, but also an impressively wide tooth root. The tooth comes from the posterior region of the prehistoric giant and must have come from a larger specimen due to its length. The enamel is brown with very nice reddish coloration on the labial side. The reddish coloration indicates iron-containing deposits. The dentition is still clearly recognizable and palpable, and occasionally sharp. The dark brown tooth root has been slightly smoothed and eroded over the many millions of years in the sea.
