Otodus megalodon tooth, specimen Megalodon, from the Quaternary (Pleistocene) period in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia; natural, unrestored and original in condition, 200 g and 12.5 × 8.5 × 3.5 cm.
Description from the seller
This impressive Otodus megalodon of 12.5 cm is a beautiful example of the exceptional fossils from Sukabumi, West Java (Indonesia). The specimen is completely natural and unrestored; no glue, reconstructions or updated parts, exactly as nature has preserved it for millions of years.
The first glance immediately draws attention to the remarkable ivory-white crown with warm honey and golden-yellow accents. This striking color combination arises from a unique mineralization process during fossilization and belongs to the less common color variants of Indonesian Megalodon teeth. As a result, the tooth has an elegant and exclusive appearance that immediately stands out among the more typical dark specimens.
The crown is broad and powerful with a sharp tip and finely preserved serrations along almost the entire cutting edge. The natural luster of the enamel accentuates the subtle growth lines and gives the tooth a vivid appearance. The solid root is completely present and beautifully fossilized, with a robust texture that nicely contrasts with the light crown.
With its impressive size, exceptional color scheme and fully original condition, this fossil represents everything collectors look for in a high-quality Megalodon tooth: authenticity, aesthetics and rarity.
An exceptionally beautiful museum-worthy specimen with a rare light color, excellent preservation and a commanding presence, a real eye-catcher that easily distinguishes itself within any serious Megalodon collection.
