This is a beautiful, collector grade, top quality Megalodon fossil shark tooth with stunning colors and top overall preservation.  It is a POSTERIOR tooth from back of the jaw where the teeth dwindle in size.  Because of that, a posterior tooth this size would have come from a Megalodon shark of substantial size with primary teeth in excess of 5 inches! 

Enamel is amazingmesmerizing, highly lustrous CHARCOAL AND NAVY BLUE colors and chatoyant reflectivity.  Serration detail is incredible the tip is needle sharp.  The enamel and root are in exceptional dense preservation.  Bourlette is COMPLETE and black, contrasting with the stunning enamel colors.  This specimen has NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.  VERY rarely are Megalodon teeth found of this caliber any more!!!

Despite selling many superb, investment-grade Megalodon teeth over the past years, each year becomes INCREASINGLY difficult to acquire fossil teeth of this level.  Teeth like this are nearly impossible to find now, this one coming from a diver's private collection.   This INVESTMENT-CLASS fossil shark tooth shows features that very few teeth today, can boast of.  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.  This tooth is a rare example of what can be had with patience.  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, may 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.
