AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A characterful Otodus Megalodon tooth with a beautiful combination of golden yellow, beige and dark brown tones. The enamel has a particular natural coloration, with dark accents around the crown base that contrast nicely with the lighter upper side. The vertical structures in the enamel give the surface extra depth and character.

What makes this specimen especially interesting is the provenance: a river find from Sukabumi, Indonesia. Unlike the many teeth that are discovered in ground excavations, this tooth comes from a river. That makes it an intriguing addition for collectors who specifically seek river-found Indonesian Megalodon teeth.

The root also deserves special attention. It has a sturdy, robust build and a striking surface with natural structures and color nuances. The broad shape complements the crown beautifully and gives the tooth a powerful appearance.

The combination of the characteristic enamel, the robust root, and the unique find method give this a specimen with its own distinct personality. A beautiful addition to a collection where Indonesian Megalodon teeth hold an important place.

Would you like to add this beauty to your collection? Place a nice bid and who knows—you could become the new owner of this special and beautiful fossil!
