Description
Megalodon, one of the largest predators in the history of the planet, is one of those extinct animals that, without exaggeration is iconic. Its dimensions are a constant subject of controversy between paleontologists. The calculations showing its jaw grip force seem fantastic, while its large triangular teeth are a collector's item.
This megalodon tooth is of average quality. However, one must admit that such an ancient tooth of an extinct shark, even in this condition, will delight many. Of the serious injuries - a broken-off "ear", part of the base, with which the tooth was fixed in the jaw.
