AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An impressive and completely natural Otodus megalodon tooth measuring no less than 15 cm, originating from the well-known fossil site Sukabumi, Indonesia. This is an exceptionally beautiful specimen that immediately stands out for its powerful form, excellent preservation, and unique natural colors.

The tooth is in excellent condition and 100% original, with no restorations, reconstructive work, or artificial color treatments. The enamel displays a stunning natural play of colors, with warm yellow tones subtly blending into beautiful blue-gray shades on the front. This rare mineralization gives the tooth an exclusive appearance and makes it very rare.

The robust root is well preserved and the cutting edges are still nicely visible, completing the impressive look of this millions-of-years-old fossil.

A tooth of this size, with this natural color combination and high quality, is a rare find. A splendid centerpiece for any fossil collection and a tangible remnant of the largest predatory shark that ever ruled the world's oceans.
