Description

Fossil tooth of Megalodon - Otodus megalodon

Fossil shark tooth

The megalodon is an extinct species of shark that lived during the Miocene period, approximately 23 to 5.3 million years ago (duration: 18 million years).

Considered to be one of the most important and powerful predators to have ever existed, it could be found in all regions of the world, hence the diverse origins of the teeth found.

Provenance: Indonesia

It is the longest diagonal that is measured: 12.6cm

The enamel is in very good condition and of a beautiful colour, with restoration of a small crack on the lower right of the domed face.

The root bead has been restored, as is often the case with Indonesian teeth.

The serrations on the edge of each side of the teeth are still present!
