This is a beautiful, investment quality Megalodon fossil shark tooth with stunning colors and top overall preservation.  Serration detail is excellent with a few small areas showing natural feeding wear.  The enamel and root are in exceptional dense preservation.  Both show a color scheme throughout of blue black patterns that fade into a bright light golden cream brown splash on the both sides enamel and part of the root.  Multi-colored dense enamel is fully present, displaying a natural high luster, NOT from machine polishing which destroys the value of the fossil.  Bourlette is COMPLETE and black, contrasting with the dramatic and lighter patterns in the enamel.  This specimen has NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.  VERY rarely are Megalodon teeth found of this caliber any more!!!

Divers will tell you that megalodon teeth like this are extremely difficult to find in today's waters.  This spectacular specimen is loaded with so many features desired by advanced Megalodon tooth collectors.  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 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.
