Un bellissimo dente di Megalodonte completamente naturale. Qualità museale, bourlette smalto e radice in. Condizioni perfette. Lungo 12 cm, dalla forma e dal colore meravigliosi. Scoperto sull'isola di Giava.
Otodus megalodon (il cui nome della specie, megalodon, deriva dal greco e significa "grande dente"), comunemente noto come megalodon o megalodonte, è una specie estinta di squalo gigante vissuto dal Miocene inferiore al Pliocene inferiore, circa 23-3,6 milioni di anni fa (Aquitaniano-Zancleano), i cui grandi denti fossili dimostrano avesse una distribuzione cosmopolita. In passato si pensava che O. megalodon fosse un membro della famiglia Lamnidae e un parente stretto del grande squalo bianco (Carcharodon carcharias), ma successivi studi lo hanno riclassificato all'interno della famiglia estinta Otodontidae, famiglia che si separò dal lignaggio del grande squalo bianco durante il Cretaceo inferiore.

Le stime delle dimensioni del megalodonte variano a seconda del metodo utilizzato, con proiezioni di lunghezza totale massima comprese tra 14,2 e 20,3 metri.
