AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Remarkable fossil Otodus megalodon tooth originating from Sukabumi, Indonesia. The tooth is 100% natural and fully unrestored.

What makes this specimen especially remarkable are the clear pathological deformities along the sides of the crown. The cutting edges show locally striking waviness and irregularities, while the fine serrations have remained beautifully preserved. This abnormal form gives the tooth a unique character and clearly distinguishes it from a normally formed Megalodon tooth.

The crown has an attractive cream/beige to pale gold color, with natural dark lines and patterns in the enamel. The broad, light-colored root is also completely natural and has a lovely fossil surface texture.

A special collectible piece due to the combination of the pathological deformities, outstanding serrations, natural colors, and completely unrestored condition.
