Description
The megalodon tooth is one of the most impressive fossils of ancient animals. Its impressive size makes one wonder how large the owner of these teeth was. Megalodon is one of the largest marine predators. According to current estimates, it reached up to 15 meters and had a weight of about 30-40 tons.
Most of the megalodon's teeth are found in North America, while specimens from other countries are rare. One of the rarest are Indonesian specimens. In Russia, without exaggeration, the number of such teeth in private collections can be counted on the fingers. Indonesian megalodon teeth are valued for their excellent museum-level preservation and unique color scheme.
Specimens from this country are distinguished by a yellowish-beige color with areas of orange and brown. It can be noted that the tooth is well preserved, the absence of large cracks and breaks, and the ideal edge with jagged edges.
The brass stand harmonizes well with the coloring, making the tooth an elegant decoration of your interior.
