This 3 15/16 inch fossilized Megalodon shark tooth is a jaw dropping specimen that any serious collector would be proud to own. The blade on this tooth is one of the darkest we have seen at this size, a deep, pure jet black from root to tip with a natural surface sheen that gives it an almost lacquered appearance in direct light. The vertical enamel lines running the length of the blade are crisp and well defined, cutting through the dark surface with precision that speaks to exceptional natural preservation.
The serration on this tooth is outstanding. Good serration runs sharp and consistent along both cutting edges of the blade, fine and well defined even after millions of years. The serration on this tooth is the kind that fossil hunters specifically search for and rarely find combined with coloration this dark and preservation this clean. The combination of jet black blade, sharp serration, and near 4 inch size makes this a genuinely elite collector specimen.
The root is wide and heavily textured with the dense porous character that develops through millions of years of natural mineral exchange. The transition from root to blade is clean and well defined. Every surface detail on this specimen formed entirely through natural fossilization. Nothing has been restored, repaired, or altered in any way.
Every fossil is one of a kind. This is the exact tooth you will receive.
