**First Time At Auction**
Ancient Seas, Middle Miocene to end of Pliocene eras, ca. 28 to 1.5 million years ago. A fine trio of fossilized teeth from the prehistoric megalodon shark, each one displaying a nice variation in hue. One is black with a matte root and enamel that is polished to a glassy surface. The glossy edges reveal the lighter gray and beige layers beneath the black. The other two teeth are left in their natural state, with matte brown roots and light enamels. The enamel on these is a creamy white and light brown with a reflective surface, a natural part of the fossilization process, and both retain most of their serrations from root to tip. Megalodon teeth develop a great array of hues due to the minerals present in the sediment and water during fossilization, which is beautifully demonstrated with these teeth! 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 polished tooth: 3.625" L x 3.25" W (9.2 cm x 8.3 cm); 3.75" H (9.5 cm) on included custom stand.
