Description

Megalodon Shark Tooth
Carcharocles megalodon
Miocene
Morgan River
South Carolina, USA

Just about as close to pristine as a tooth can get, this extremely well-balanced example of Megalodon dentition offers a fairly triangular shape, near-perfect serrations and a virtually compete form. A truly collector specimen if there ever was one, this piece also measures a substantial 4.7 inches (12 cm) on edge. Flaws are near impossible to find on the blade, the bourlette or the root structure. Superb over both sides, this stunner is simply one fine fossilized shark tooth. The color is light and complementary.
Overall Measurements: 4.70 x 3.37 x 1.01 inches (11.93 x 8.55 x 2.57 cm)


[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
