Item | # 0002390829 | Family | VERTEBRATA | Name | Carcharocles megalodon - GIANT; CHOCOLATE; c.1900 , Agassiz, 1843 |
Size | 142.3 mm |
Locality | United States, Miocene |
Note | A magnificent, monumental, antique specimen of an enormous frontal tooth of the famed extinct giant shark Carcharocles megalodon, in a rare and beautiful colour: obverse, (convex / outer), side of rich chocolate; reverse, (concave / inner), side of dark ochre-caramel, with copious accents of copper oxide green and blue-grey. Some loss to enamel upon reverse side, (image available upon request). Good quality outer edges, with a degree of serration preserved. Ultra-solid and heavy, with incredible weight to size ratio. The specimen is an antique in its own right, having been collected c.1900, and has acquired over a century of resplendent patina. Offered principally as a piece of antique natural history, for the adornment of the cabinet, desk, or for stand-alone display. I am not a dealer in fossils, and acquired this piece upon account of its inherent interest and beauty. Thus, this is the ONLY megalodon tooth I have to offer. Size: 142.3 mm (longest dimension). Data: South Carolina, USA. Period: Miocene. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
