- Lot Description
Ancient Seas, Middle Miocene to end of Pliocene eras, ca. 28 to 1.5 million years ago. A beautiful pair of fossilized teeth from the prehistoric megalodon shark. The teeth compliment each other nicely with their contrasting hues. One tooth is polished to a glassy surface that reveals a lustrous black enamel. The other is left in its natural form, unpolished, but with a reflective enamel due to the fossilization process. The enamel is a creamy white with lighter brown and gray inclusions. Megalodon teeth can form a variety of colors due to the types of minerals present in the sediment and water as the teeth fossilized. Megalodons were among the largest predators the ocean ever saw, but their teeth are the only parts that have survived since their cartilage bodies could not fossilize. Size (black tooth): 4.31" L x 3.18" W (10.9 cm x 8.1 cm); 4.5" H (11.4 cm) on included custom stand. (white tooth): 4.375" L x 3.5" W (11.1 cm x 8.9 cm); 4.5" H (11.4 cm) on included custom stand.
