For a tooth from the back of the jaw, this is an extremely large size and would have come from a MAXIMUM SIZE Megalodon shark.  This is an INVESTMENT GRADE tooth with rare aesthetic features and top preservation!  The highly reflective enamel displays a natural high luster, NOT from machine polishing.  The blue gray enamel has blush cream highlights and a glossy jet black bourlette for a stunning compliment.  The majority of Megalodon teeth fossilize in drab colors so collectors always gravitate towards colorful and unusual teeth given all other features being equal.  The root is complete and blade edges where they meet the root, are unbroken - a trait only found in the best teeth.  Serrations and tip are well preserved and sharp.  NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.  At Paleo Direct, every Megalodon tooth we offer (even if from an old collection) is run through our on-premises lab facility for scrutiny. It is then micro-blasted to clean it and inspected for any defects. 

This spectacular Megalodon shark tooth comes from the largest shark that ever graced our planet, once roaming the ancient seas in the Miocene to Pliocene Periods.  This INVESTMENT GRADE Megalodon tooth is loaded with so many features desired by advanced Megalodon tooth collectors.  Teeth like these are getting certainly harder to come by in today's market.  Current and increasing future demand will never be satisfied by the dwindling numbers of the truly top grade specimens such as this beauty, hence their constantly increasing prices each year. 

Megalodon teeth over the past years, have become INCREASINGLY difficult to acquire, of this level.  Teeth like this are nearly impossible to find now, this one coming from a diver's private collection.  To have a single tooth in your collection of this caliber can give much more pride and enjoyment than having a room filled with mediocre, junk teeth.  We advise collectors all the time, of this principal.  It is true for any rare collectible -  BUY THE BEST.  Most often, we see collectors spending a fortune over time when added up, on junk.  The sum of what was spent could have purchased a few incredible specimens.  For every tooth that a diver finds of this quality, thousands of junk teeth are found and it is these that you typically see for sale.  Sure they sell for much less but they will NEVER go up in price - there are simply too many of the common teeth.

Megalodon teeth found in rivers are almost always heavily eroded and worn from the high energy environment in which they were subjected to.  They usually have dull, sand-blasted enamel, peeling back from the core.  The roots are often damaged.  While we strictly avoid Megalodon teeth with restoration or repair, Caveat emptor as some Megalodon teeth in dealers' inventories in the larger sizes and "seemingly" fine qualities, have repair or restoration and this is not often disclosed to the buyer accurately either because of ignorance or dishonesty.  Paleo Direct gets all its teeth directly from divers and cleans every specimen in our own on-premises lab facility.
