- Lot Description
Ancient Seas, Middle Miocene to end of Pliocene eras, ca. 28 to 1.5 million years ago. A fabulous collection of 3 fossilized teeth from the prehistoric megalodon shark. These teeth have developed nice variations of enamel coloration due to the minerals present in the sediment and water during the fossilization process. The black tooth has been polished to a glassy surface, to reveal the dark layers of the enamel, and the verso is a creamy gray with brown inclusions. The other two teeth are unpolished and left in their natural state, and their enamel is reflective due to the fossilization process. These two teeth retain some of their serrations along the peripheries from the root to the pointed tip. Megalodons were a fascinating species of shark, and were one of the largest predators the ocean ever saw. Their bodies were made of cartilage and could not fossilize, so these teeth are the only parts that remain of these creatures, but they certainly demonstrate the size of these prehistoric sharks! Size (largest unpolished): 3.625" L x 2.875" W (9.2 cm x 7.3 cm); 4" H (10.2 cm) on included custom stand.
