Description: This is a colorful, serrated, 5 inch Blue and Tan fossil Megalodon tooth from West Java, Indonesia. Measurements are taken from the longest side and the widest point. It has beautiful enamel. Super sharp serrations and tip on the blade. The root has some erosion which is par for the coarse on Indonesian megs. They are "mined" from land sites and typically have excellent color though the coloration can vary from layer to layer. The roots almost always have some degree of erosion, so you have to be suspicious of "perfect" looking roots as they are often repaired/restored. It's unclear if the root erosion is due to acidic soil conditions or reworking of the teeth in the deposits. Megalodon was not only the biggest and baddest prehistoric shark that ever lived, it was the largest marine predator in the history of the planet. Today’s great white sharks would be a mere bite size snack for this monster. It terrorized the diverse ocean waters around the world from 15.9 to 2.6 million years ago (late Oligocene to early Pleistocene). This massive, extinct species of shark was estimated to grow to nearly 60 feet in length and has often been declared the greatest vertebrate predator which ever lived.
