Megalodon - Fossil tooth - 12 cm - 8.5 cm

Beautiful 12.0 cm Otodus megalodon tooth from the well-known Sukabumi fossil site, West Java, Indonesia. This is a 100% natural specimen, without restorations, reconstructions, or updated parts. An authentic collectible piece with an excellent appearance.

The tooth features a broad, symmetrical crown with a powerful tip and well-preserved serrations along both cutting edges. The crown displays an exceptionally beautiful deep reddish-brown to mahogany mineralization with subtle amber and gold tones. This rich reddish color is a natural result of millions of years of fossilisation and is considerably rarer than the more common gray, black, or light brown Megalodon teeth. It is precisely this warm coloration that makes the specimen particularly prized by collectors and gives it a striking presentation in any collection.

The root is intact and robust, preserved with natural sandy fossilization that forms a stunning contrast with the dark red-brown crown. The transition between crown and root is completely natural and shows no signs of restoration, glue, or infill.

This tooth comes from the largest predatory shark that has ever inhabited the oceans. Thanks to excellent preservation, beautiful serrations, and especially the rare reddish-brown color, which occurs only in a small subset of Indonesian finds, this is an exceptionally attractive piece for both advanced collectors and lovers of high-quality fossils.

An impressive, fully unrestored Megalodon tooth with an exceptional natural color and a powerful presence, a true centerpiece for any collection.
