7.1 cm dagger-shaped tooth from a Megalodon with shell remains

The 7.1 cm tooth of Carcharocles Megalodon is dagger-shaped and comes from the lower jaw of the prehistoric giant. The shell remains adhering to the labial side of the tooth are very striking. The enamel is grey and the teeth are still very faintly visible. The broad black bourelette is beautifully preserved and the grey tooth root has been slightly smoothed by natural processes.
