Description

Megalodon Shark Tooth Paperweight
Otodus megalodon
Miocene
North Carolina, USA
4.74 x 4.56 x 1.14 inches (12.05 x 11.58 x 2.89 cm)

Dark and commanding, this fossilized Megalodon tooth carries the quiet power of an ancient predator. The tooth has been artfully adapted into a functional paperweight, its root precisely flattened to display the imposing blade-like crown. Charcoal gray enamel, worn smooth by time, contrasts with the weathered root to create a dramatic interplay of texture and tone. Measuring nearly 5 inches (12.5 cm) along the edge, this formidable remnant evokes the primal presence of the ocean's most fearsome hunter. This impressive specimen is both a striking fossil and an evocative display piece, merging natural history with a hint of the abyss.

[Scale: 2-inch Great White tooth]
