This tooth has lived. A 1 13/16 inch fossilized Megalodon shark tooth in deep charcoal gray with a chipped tip that speaks to a life spent at the top of the ancient food chain. The chip is natural, either from the shark's time hunting in prehistoric waters or from thousands of years of geological movement underground. It is disclosed here plainly because that is what you deserve to know before you buy, and because for many people that kind of honest imperfection is exactly what makes a fossil feel real.
The coloration on this tooth is deep charcoal gray from root to blade, dense and matte with the kind of surface that does not need gloss to look striking. The root is heavily textured and wide, rough with natural pitting and porosity built up over thousands of years. The blade is cleaner with vertical enamel lines running its length and serration that has worn naturally over time. The bone beads on this build are dark warm brown with bold white wavy stripes that give this necklace one of the most visually distinct bead patterns in the collection. Against the charcoal fossil the contrast is sharp and intentional looking. Stainless steel wire holds the root cleanly and stainless steel clamps finish both ends of the Greek leather cord.
Chipped tip and all, this tooth has more character than most.
This is the actual tooth you will receive.
