Description from the seller
A splendid specimen of Megalodon's tooth.
Found in layers dating from the Miocene to the Pliocene, the teeth of the largest marine predator that ever existed continue to attract many enthusiasts.
Considered a relative of the present-day great white shark, the Megalodon, based on the teeth found, it must have reached lengths between 18 and 20 meters.
The state of preservation is good, and signs of wear have occurred while the animal was alive. Feeding on large mammals, the teeth often suffered damage upon contact with the bones of the prey.
The images are part of the description.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
