AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking and characterful specimen of Otodus megalodon, featuring a prominently pathologically deformed crown that directly distinguishes this tooth from regular Megalodon teeth.
The crown shows an unusual asymmetric shape and strong natural deformation, combined with beautiful gold, honey, and dark brown color tones. The clear vertical growth lines run across the enamel and emphasize the crown’s distinctive structure. Along both cutting edges, the fine natural serrations are still beautifully present.
The bourrelet is also clearly visible and exhibits rich, dark golden-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 above all the natural pathologic deformation. This type of anomaly occurred during the tooth's development and makes such specimens particularly interesting for collectors seeking unique and anomalous Megalodon fossils.
