AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fossil tooth belonging to the giant prehistoric shark Otodus megalodon, the most impressive marine species to have ever existed. This tooth measures 125 mm in length and was found along the coast of North Carolina, one of the most renowned locations for recovering well-preserved remains of megalodon. The surface has been polished, highlighting the veins and the color transitions between the root and enamel.
The Megalodon lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago, during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, reaching estimated lengths of up to 20 meters. Its triangular, serrated, and robust teeth were designed to break the bones of whales and large cetaceans, which it fed on. These teeth were arranged in five rows and were continuously replaced throughout the animal's life.
This tooth features a compact and well-preserved root, with partially intact enamel and areas of mineralization that tell the story of fossilization. The polishing highlights its shades of black, gray, and touches of brown, making it perfect for museum display as well as private collections or cabinets of curiosities.
