AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Not every tooth of the legendary Otodus megalodon is the same. This remarkable specimen from the famous fossil site Bone Valley (Florida) immediately stands out for its unique shape.

The tip of the tooth is rounded rather than sharp. This is not due to wear, but due to a natural growth anomaly during the formation of the tooth. Such variations are rare and give this fossil an extra distinctive character.

Additionally, the tooth has a beautiful and striking color combination. A grayish to blueish tint in the enamel with a contrasting sandy-colored root. The enamel is well preserved and the root is firm and complete, with visible serrations along the cutting edges.

With a length of 7 cm this is an attractive and rare Megalodon tooth, especially interesting for collectors who are looking for a fossil with a unique and unusual appearance.
