AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptionally characterful and fully natural Otodus megalodon tooth from Sukabumi, Indonesia, with a remarkable color palette and a beautiful fossil-like appearance.

The tooth features a very intact, gray root, in which the fossilized gum tissue is still clearly visible, a wonderful detail that emphasizes the natural authenticity of this specimen.

The crown is framed by a deep black enamel, while the upper portion of the crown subtly transitions from light yellow to blue-green hues. In the central portion of the front, a striking dark blue color appears, combined with natural patterns that create a unique and powerful color contrast.

The combination of the black enamel, blue-green and dark blue tones and the exceptionally well-preserved root makes this a very distinctive specimen with an appearance you don’t often encounter in a standard Megalodon tooth.
