AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An impressive and completely natural Otodus Megalodon tooth measuring no less than 15 cm, originating from the renowned fossil site Sukabumi, Indonesia.

This is an exceptionally beautiful specimen that immediately stands out for its powerful shape, excellent preservation, and unique natural colours.

The tooth is in excellent condition and 100% original, with no restorations, reconstructions, or artificial color treatments.

The enamel shows a splendid natural play of color, with warm yellow hues subtly merging into beautiful blue-gray shades at the front.

This rare mineralization gives the tooth an exclusive appearance and makes it extremely rare.

The robust root is well preserved and the cutting edges are still nicely visible, which completes 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 stunning showpiece for any fossil collection and a tangible remnant of the greatest predatory shark that ever ruled the world’s oceans.
