Otodus megalodon tooth from Indonesia, dating to the Quaternary, Pleistocene (about 2.58–0.0117 million years ago), in natural condition with original authenticity.
Description from the seller
A distinctive and characterful specimen of Otodus megalodon, featuring a markedly pathologically deformed crown that immediately sets this tooth apart from regular Megalodon teeth.
The crown displays an unusual asymmetric shape and strong natural distortion, combined with beautiful gold, honey, and dark brown color tones. The clear vertical growth lines run across the enamel, highlighting the crown’s extraordinary structure. Along both cutting edges, the fine natural serrations remain nicely present.
Also the bourrelet is clearly visible and shows rich dark gold-brown mineralization. The heavy, massive root has an authentic fossil character and forms an impressive contrast with the lighter crown.
What truly makes this tooth special is not only its size of 13.6 cm, but above all the natural pathologic deformity. Such deviations occurred during the tooth’s development and make specimens like this particularly interesting for collectors seeking unique and odd Megalodon fossils.
