AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A distinctive and characterful specimen of Otodus megalodon, with a striking pathologically deformed crown that immediately sets this tooth apart from ordinary Megalodon teeth.
The crown exhibits an unusual asymmetrical shape and strong natural distortion, combined with beautiful gold, honey, and dark brown color tones. The clear vertical growth lines run across the enamel and emphasize the crown's unique structure. Along both cutting edges the fine natural serrations are still beautifully present.
Also the bourrelet is clearly visible and shows a rich, dark gold-brown mineralization. The heavy, massive root has an authentic fossil character and forms an impressive contrast with the lighter crown.
What makes this tooth truly special is not only its size of 13.6 cm, but especially the natural pathological deformation. This kind of anomaly occurred during the tooth's development and makes such specimens particularly interesting for collectors looking for unique and deviant Megalodon fossils.
