Description from the seller
Not every Megalodon tooth stands out for its size; some draw all attention with their exceptional color. This is such an specimen. It measures 8.6 cm.
This Otodus megalodon from Sukabumi possesses a rare green-blue enamel that, depending on the light, shifts from deep olive green to blue-gray. Just above the root runs a natural golden mineralization band, giving the crown a striking color gradient that you rarely encounter. It is precisely this combination that makes the tooth instantly recognizable and cherished by collectors of unusual color variants.
The crown has a powerful, almost perfectly symmetrical shape with an elegant tip. The fine serrations run nicely along both cutting edges, giving the tooth a sharp, refined look. The enamel has a beautiful natural luster in which the original growth lines are subtly visible, adding extra character to the fossil.
The sturdy, gray fossilized root forms a beautiful contrast with the intensely colored crown. The combination of cool gray, green-blue enamel, and the warm golden band creates a color play that is rarely as harmonious in Sukabumi specimens.
Where many Megalodon teeth impress with their size, this specimen distinguishes itself precisely through its aesthetics. The distinctive color scheme, the strong contrast between crown and root, and the refined details make this not just a fossil, but a striking display piece. For collectors seeking a Megalodon with its own character and a color you don’t encounter every day, this is a particularly appealing specimen.
