6.3 cm patterned Megalodon tooth

The 6.3 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon has a beautiful symmetry and comes from the upper jaw of the prehistoric giant. The serration is somewhat coarse, beautifully preserved except for the tip, and razor-sharp. The enamel is multifaceted with a pattern of different color shades. The black bourelette is clearly visible and the matte tooth root has been naturally smoothed over millions of years in the water.
