AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional USA tooth, 15 cm, natural (with minimal restoration). Few appear in this size and condition; a unique opportunity for major collectors and museums.
It is delivered with a methacrylate base and stainless steel, for its great presentation.
Note: Small restoration on the right margin of the dentin, completely untouched and natural as can be seen in the photos!

The most common fossils of Megalodon are its teeth. The diagnostic features of Megalodon teeth include: a triangular shape, a robust structure, large size, a finely serrated edge, and the neck (base of the crown) with a visible V-shaped form. Megalodon teeth measure 18.5 centimeters (the largest collected) in perpendicular height and 13.5 centimeters in diagonal length, and they are the largest of any known shark species.

It will be triple packed for greater security during transport and with UPS tracking (Smart Shipping Catawiki).
