This 1 7/8 inch fossilized Megalodon shark tooth wears its history openly. The root is dark brown and charcoal, rough and heavily textured with the dense porous surface that builds through thousands of years of natural fossilization. The blade transitions into a cooler gray, with clean vertical enamel lines running its length and a natural surface that shifts subtly depending on the light. The tooth has a chipped tip, a genuine battle mark from its time in the ancient ocean, noted here plainly so you know exactly what you are getting.
The chipped tip does not affect the authenticity or fossil quality of this tooth. It is a natural characteristic of a real ancient tooth that lived a real life before it fossilized. The fair to poor serration along both edges has worn naturally over time, which is expected and common in a fossil of this age. What you have here is an honest, character-rich fossil with a story behind every imperfection. The necklace build pairs the tooth with warm tan bone beads banded in black and white, stainless steel wire wrap, and stainless steel clamps on a Greek leather cord.
Every mark on this tooth formed naturally over thousands of years. No two are the same.
This is the actual tooth you will receive.
