- 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 has a matte brown root, and the enamel is polished on the frontside to reveal the pretty caramel and dark brown hues with a creamy gray edges. The other side of the enamel appears to be in its natural state; reflective with narrow striations. The other tooth has a matte black root and a heavily polished enamel that reveals the glue-gray and brown layers. The varying colors these teeth exhibit are a happy outcome of chemistry, a result of the minerals present in the sediment and water present 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. These teeth are truly a fascinating reminder of Megalodon sharks! Size larger tooth: 4.43" L x 3.5" W (11.3 cm x 8.9 cm); 4.375" H (11.1 cm) on included custom stand.
