AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An impressive blue Otodus megalodon tooth from Sukabumi, Indonesia. This is a beautiful large tooth with a strong and rugged appearance.

The crown has a distinctive natural color combination of beige/cream tones with dark blue-gray and black color patterns. Especially the dark markings in the enamel give the tooth a lot of character and make it very attractive to look at.

The serrations are nicely pronounced along both cutting edges and the large, sturdy root fits well with the tooth’s size. There are also several natural details and color variations in the enamel visible, making it a beautiful natural specimen.

What stands out about this tooth is the natural notch at the top of the crown. This is not a broken piece, but a form of natural wear that developed during the shark’s life. This actually gives the tooth extra character and makes the specimen unique.
