Otodus megalodon tooth, specimen Megalodon, from Indonesia, Quaternary–Pleistocene (2.58–0.0117 million years ago), natural condition, authentic/original, weight 200 g, dimensions 12.5 × 8.5 × 3.5 cm.
Description from the seller
This impressive Otodus megalodon at 12.5 cm is a splendid example of the exceptional fossils from Sukabumi, West Java (Indonesia). The specimen is completely natural and unrestored; no glue, reconstructions, or updated parts, exactly as nature has preserved them for millions of years.
The first glance immediately catches the distinctive ivory-white crown with warm honey and golden-yellow accents. This striking color combination arises from a unique mineralization process during fossilization and belongs to the less common color variants of Indonesian Megalodon teeth. As a result, the tooth has an elegant and exclusive appearance that immediately stands out among the more conventional dark specimens.
The crown is broad and powerful with a sharp tip and finely preserved serrations along almost the entire cutting edge. The natural gloss of the enamel highlights the subtle growth lines and gives the tooth a vivid look. The solid root is fully present and beautifully fossilized, with a robust texture that nicely contrasts with the light crown.
With its impressive size, exceptional color, and completely original condition, this fossil represents everything collectors look for in a high-quality Megalodon tooth: authenticity, aesthetics, and rarity.
An exceptionally beautiful museum-quality specimen with a rare light color, excellent preservation, and a commanding presence, a true standout that effortlessly differentiates itself within any serious Megalodon collection.
