- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $500**
Ancient Seas, Middle Miocene to end of Pliocene eras, ca. 28 to 1.5 million years ago. A fine pair of fossilized teeth from the prehistoric megalodon shark. The first tooth is nearly all jet black with a matte root that has stable fissures and crevices that formed during the fossilization process. The enamel has been polished to a glassy surface and is very reflective. The other tooth is a much lighter hue, with a matte brown root, and a polished enamel with a creamy beige edge, and the center reveals the darker layers beneath the enamel. Both teeth are beautiful, and the contrasting colors are due to the different minerals present in the sediment as the teeth fossilize. 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 3.25" W (10.9 cm x 8.3 cm); (brown tooth): 4.25" L x 3" W (10.8 cm x 7.6 cm)
