Description from the seller

MUSEUM-QUALITY OTODUS MEGALODON TOOTH

A spectacular Otodus megalodon tooth originating from the Morgan River, South Carolina, United States, with an impressive size, a deep black color, and excellent overall preservation.

A REAL COLLECTOR’S ITEM

Megalodon was one of the largest predators that ever existed. Estimates suggest that this impressive shark could reach an enormous length, considerably larger than today’s great white.

A tooth of this size, combined with such an appealing dark color and strong preservation, is highly sought after by collectors. This specimen would make an impressive centerpiece for a private collection or a museum-quality fossil display.

The tooth shown in the photos is exactly the specimen being offered.

The tooth is carefully protected and securely packed to enable safe international shipping.

Please inspect all photos carefully for the exact condition, preservation, and details of the offered item.
