Description from the seller
OTODUS MEGALODON – FOSSIL SHARK TOOTH
For sale: an impressive fossil tooth of Otodus megalodon, the gigantic prehistoric shark that dominated the oceans millions of years ago. This specimen comes from North Carolina, United States, a well-known locality for fossil shark teeth.
Otodus megalodon was one of the largest predatory sharks to have ever lived. This impressive shark swam through the world’s oceans during the Miocene and Pliocene and possessed powerful jaws with large, triangular teeth that allowed it to grasp and tear its prey.
The fossil stands out for its broad, triangular tooth crown with a light beige to yellow-brown color and a clearly visible surface texture. The dark, robust root forms a striking contrast with the lighter crown and gives this tooth its distinctive look.
