AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking specimen of the impressive Otodus megalodon, from Pangandaran Beach on the southern coast of Java, Indonesia.
What makes this tooth special is its exceptional preservation. Its beautiful overall condition is strongly reminiscent of specimens from well-known American localities. Yet this fossil has a very different origin: it comes from the coastal deposits of Pangandaran Beach.
The crown has an attractive natural gray-green to olive color, with beautiful vertical growth lines and clearly visible serrations along the cutting edges. The dark transition between the crown and the root also creates a lovely contrast.
The robust root also contributes to this tooth’s distinctive appearance. The combination of its natural color variations and remarkably good preservation makes this a particularly attractive Indonesian specimen.
Dimensions: 7.2 cm.
Condition: Excellent natural condition. Completely unrestored, with no added materials or repairs.
A beautiful example of the remarkable fossils found on the beaches of Pangandaran Beach!
