Fossils Auction (Marine Life)

Splendid fossil tooth of a megalodon, characterized by an intact crown with smooth ivory-beige enamel, clearly visible vertical dentin striations and serrated margins intact on both sides, typical of macropredatory sharks of the Otodus group (O. auriculatus/megalodon). The root shows a superficial restoration: the missing portion has been rebuilt with restoration material, clearly distinguishable in color and texture from the original enamel and dentin. The crown and tip remain completely natural.

Splendido dente fossile di megalodonte, caratterizzato da corona integra con smalto liscio color avorio-beige, striature verticali della dentina ben visibili e margini serrati intatti su entrambi i lati, tipici degli squali macropredatori del gruppo Otodus (auriculatus/megalodon).
La radice presenta un restauro superficiale: la parte mancante è stata ricostruita con materiale da restauro, chiaramente distinguibile per colore e texture rispetto allo smalto e alla dentina originali. La corona e la punta rimangono completamente naturali.
