8,1 cm polished shark tooth of megalodon from USA

A shapely shark tooth of the Megalodon with a fascinating play of colors and reflections through the polish. The edge dentition is recognizable. Please note: Photo has a red / orange cast. So the tooth is a little more gray and less orange than in the photo.

Shark teeth are polished if they show damage when found, such as a blunt tip, severely worn serrations or chipping in the enamel, the top layer. Polishing succeeds in revealing the unique colorations and structures that the surrounding rock and the minerals it contains have given off in the fossilization process. Depending on the type and strength of light incidence, different fascinating color shades and patterns can be seen.
