CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MEGALODON
The massive Megalodon shark is one of the largest and most fearsome predators that ever existed in the ancient seas. Owning a genuine, fine quality tooth from these terrible creatures of prehistory is the pride of many collectors. This high grade tooth came from the famous shark known scientifically as Carcharocles megalodon - the largest and deadliest shark that ever lived! This spectacular specimen 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.
This PRIZE Megalodon tooth has all the desirable features of a tooth that will continue to appreciate in value over time - STUNNING ENAMEL, FULL SERRATIONS, SHARP TIP AND INTACT BLADE EDGE BASES WHERE THEY MEET THE ROOT. It is not only HUGE at well over the magic 5 inch mark, but it is an INCREDIBLE tooth for its condition and color!!! The enamel is a strongly chatoyant mint green and blue hue. In bright light, the tooth enamel flashes a pearly silver beneath the color. Root is complete and solid with no damage. NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION. Definitely, a tooth with unique and highly aesthetic features seldom seen!
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 have repair or restoration which GREATLY diminishes the value. This is not often disclosed to the buyer accurately.
