Description

11.0 cm gray narrow tooth of the Megalodon

The 11.0 cm tooth of the Carcharocles Megalodon has a light gray enamel and well-preserved palpable dentition. The darker black tooth root and bourelette have been worn away and smoothed over the many millions of years in the sea. The shark tooth probably comes from the lower jaw of the prehistoric shark.
