Fossil Megalodon Shark Tooth Pendant - 24K Gold over 925 Sterling Silver.

Please see all my Sharks Tooth Pendants. This handsome pendant features a genuine fossil tooth from the legendary prehistoric Megalodon shark. The tooth displays an attractive medium grayish-tan enamel surface with natural color variations and well-preserved serrations along both cutting edges.

Measuring approximately 1.68 inches from the tip to the top, the fossil has been transformed into a distinctive piece of wearable natural history. It is secured within a custom-designed 925 sterling silver cap and bail finished with rich 24-karat gold plating. The sleek, sculptural setting complements the tooth while preserving and showcasing its natural form, texture and serrated edges. Megalodon was one of the largest and most powerful predatory sharks ever to inhabit the world's oceans. Its massive teeth resemble those of the modern Great White shark but are considerably larger and more robust.

Because shark skeletons are composed primarily of cartilage, teeth are among the most important and recognizable fossils left behind by these extraordinary marine predators. Each genuine fossil tooth is naturally unique, with its own coloration, mineralization, surface details and evidence of age.

This impressive pendant combines paleontology, fine jewelry and natural history in one highly collectible piece. An exceptional gift for a fossil collector, shark enthusiast, jewelry lover or anyone fascinated by prehistoric marine life.
