In this lot: A very weird pathological Megalodon tooth from Sukabumi, Java, Indonesia. This lower lateral tooth has one of the weirder deformities I have seen. Mostly a pathological tooth is formed due to lack of space in the jaw to grow. It creates horizontal wave patterns on the serrations or vertictal ones on the crown. What happened here I don't know. But this tooth is somehow very different form a normal tooth. On both sides the serrations have sharp deformities. The left display side has a wave deformity. The most noticable is the weird notch in the serrations on the right display side. This is no damage but a growth deformity. Right next to it is a little bulge in the enamel. Interprative as decease in the tooth maybe? The weirdest to me is the tip which is keeled over to the right frontside. It gives the tooth the look of a dorsal fin. Which means penetrating the flesh of a prey would have been difficult. Nonetheless the tip is very sharp and didn't sustain damage during the life of this shark oddly enough. Size: 11,9 cm Quality: The tooth is all natural and has no restoration. The crown is intact. There are no damages on both sides. The color is a nice grey with browns. The left side has a nice pattern near the wavy deformity. The serrations are a 100% intact and are very sharp. The bourlette is almost complete. The root including the lobes are decently preserved with nice pointy lobes. There are teeth out there with extremer deformities, but the pattern shown here is somewhat weirder. A rare opportunity to own this special tooth. Fitting for any collection! The photos are an integral part of the description and speak for themselves. Thank you for bidding!
