5.7 L x 4.3 W museum quality Otodus megalodon from Western Java, Indonesia. Hands down one of the best preserved megalodon teeth ever to come out of this location. Due to increasingly strict fossil laws, quality teeth from Indonesia are becoming more and more difficult to obtain. Simply put, this tooth is astoundingly preserved.
The root is absolutely flawless with the absence of any hydration cracks, nicks or chips. The bourlette is a deep chocolate color and flows almost seamlessly into the enamel which is a beautiful slate grey/green.
Most important, the serrations are in fantastic shape and the tip serration is 100% intact! Weighing in at 13.7oz this is an extremely heavy tooth for a lower jaw position with a very robust shape. The tooth exhibits a very rare trait and can actually stand on its root!
Without a doubt one of the top 1% of teeth found in this type of preservation.
