AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In this lot:

A beautiful multi colored Megalodon tooth from Sukabumi, Java, Indonesia.

Size: 10 cm

Quality:

There are no repairs or restorations done on this piece!

The crown itself is almost completely intact. The tip is missing its sharpness and has a small chip on the front side. The serrations are complete and are very sharp. The serrations on the front as well as on the display side are beautifully visible.

The coloring consists of multiple earthy tones. Ranging from black to gray and sandy brown to red spots. The enamel has no splits or fractures whatsoever and has a nice glow.
The shoulders are both complete.

The bourlette is missing a little in the centre. That spot has a nice red color though. The rest of the bourlette has dark brown coloring. The bourlette borders very nicely to the root.

The enamel on the front is super smooth and also colored nicely. It runs all the way down to the root.

The root on the display side is also nicely colored with dark reds. The special color combination on the crown and root makes this stunning to look at and a nice tooth for your collection!


Due to import tax and high risks in losing parcels will NOT ship to United States
