Description
**First Time At Auction**
Ancient Seas, ca. 2 millions years ago. A huge example of a Megalodon tooth that developed glossy shades of black, grey, and brown through the process of fossilization. The serrated edges of the tooth are worn down, though they would have been incredibly sharp while the animal was still alive; some of the individual serrations are still visible. The upper enamel portion also displays dozens of vertical striations and areas of light roughness, which are two additional results of fossilization. A beautiful example of one of the ancient seas' most ferocious hunters! Size: 4.375" W x 4.9" H (11.1 cm x 12.4 cm).
Provenance: ex-Lowcountry Geologic, Charleston, South Carolina, USA
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
