Carcharocles megalodon Tooth
Age: Miocene
Formation: River Deposits

Size: Tooth is 5.3 inches long
Now this is a striking fossil shark tooth! It is a very large Meg tooth from the Extinct White Shark, Carcharocles megalodon. This colorful tooth has chrysocolla polished into the center of the tooth, giving it a rich blue-green color. The black and olive-colored enamel on the edges of the tooth complements the chrysacolla to make for a very beautiful tooth. But the beauty does not end there! The tooth is huge - almost five and a half inches long! The serrations are worn, but mostly intact, making this tooth that much more collectible. And the back side of the tooth is extremely complete and very impressive. This is a top notch display tooth for a collection or conversation piece.
