Description

5.4 cm grey Megalodon tooth

The 5.4 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon comes from the lower jaw of the prehistoric giant due to its pointed shape. The shiny enamel is gray and the serration is clearly visible and noticeable. The bourlette is brown and well preserved. The duller tooth root has been worn away over millions of years in the water. However, the typical nutrient groove in the middle of the root is still present. This supplied the tooth with nutrients during the shark's lifetime.
