This sizable, fossilized shark tooth has been creatively crafted into a functional paperweight at the root with a flat-cut base. The example of Megalodon dentition from the apex predator is something special as this tooth measures nearly 5 inches (12.7 cm) on edge with moderately well-preserved enamel. This partial specimen offers a dramatic impact due to its immense size and will make an impactful statement on anyone's desk.

[Scale: 2-inch Great White tooth]
