AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific name: Otodus megalodon, Agassiz (1843) - Shark tooth

Geological Formation: West Java Miocene Outcrops
Age: Miocene, (~14 Million Years)
Size: 12,2cm
REF.: #J663
DESCRIPTION:
This is a outstanding huge sharply serrated fossil Megalodon tooth collected in West Java, Indonesia. It has wonderful enamel, sharp serrations, and a fine tip. Original root as well. Not restored or glued. Top specimen.
Megalodon teeth from West Java, Indonesia have started hitting the market in the past couple years, but the prices have finally started to come down from stratospheric levels. They are "mined" from land sites and typically have excellent color though the coloration can vary from layer to layer.
Megalodon teeth from Indonesia, particularly from West Java, are highly sought after by collectors for their exceptional,, pristine enamel, vivid coloration (tans, golds, reds), and intact, sharp serrations. Unlike river-worn teeth, these are mined from limestone, resulting in sharp, detailed specimens usually dating to the Miocene/Pliocene epochs.
Key Features of Indonesian Megalodon Teeth
Location & Origin: Primarily sourced from West Java, Indonesia, from land-based mining operations rather than ocean diving.
Coloration: Known for vibrant, unique colors, including cream, yellow, tan, golden-brown, and sometimes rare blues, resulting from mineral-rich soil.
Preservation: The enamel is often in "glassy" condition, with sharp, well-preserved serrations and, in many cases, a complete, distinct bourlette (gum line).
Age: Roughly 2 to 15 million years old (Miocene to Pliocene periods).
Size: Ranging from small to very large, with rare, high-quality, 6-inch+ specimens found.
Considerations for Collectors
Root Condition: While the enamel is usually pristine, the roots of Indonesian teeth are sometimes eroded due to acidic soil.
Restoration: Due to mining, some teeth may be struck by tools and require repair or restoration; therefore, it is advised to check for "no restoration" disclosures on high-value specimens.
Price: Prices vary, but high-quality, large, and perfectly preserved specimens can cost thousands of dollars, making them a significant collector's item.
All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our database verification system on our website.

Seller's Story
Jurassic Dreams is the world's largest online dinosaur fossils store, unrivaled as the most reputable source for authentic fossil specimens. We are the only leading online fossils store owned by an accredited geologist and paleontology expert. In addition, we have extraordinary authentic meteorites specimens from all over the universe.
With dozens of different specimens in stock... our customers come back time and again. Because, simply put, our lifetime guarantee is unbeatable.
My name is Juan A. Poblador and I have a strong academic background in Paleontology and Geology from the University of Madrid and University of Alicante. I have participated in fossil excavation projects in several locations mainly in Europe and Africa for over 10 years. Writing scientifically accurate descriptions of every specimen is one of the tasks that consume most of my time. Obviously, recognizing fake and restored fossils is second nature to me. So you can be sure that every fossil in this website has been carefully screened and inspected by me.
I have served collectors and fossil enthusiasts over the years. I have also supplied museums and institutions. I combine the study and research of significant specimens with exhibiting and selling the many other finds, which helps fund the new expeditions.
Additionally, I have a small team of support staff for logistics. I've personally trained them to handle and pack the fossils properly so that they can be shipped within 24 hours and arrive at your door in one piece.
Last but not least, I'm fortunate to have a great network of other seasoned paleontologists with whom I discuss the rarest items, new discoveries, and exploration trips to remote quarries... If I don't know something, the paleontological community really helps out.
I like to manage Jurassic Dreams as a well curated online exhibition of museum grade pieces. I'm a collector myself and I love to share the knowledge with other fellow collectors. That's why I will respond to any email when you have any doubt or when you buy, and you'll have a personalized fossil selection experience.
