About This Specimen
This Indonesian Megalodon tooth features a stunning tan and blue, multicolored enamel, a solid, dense root, and razor-sharp serrations. Indonesian specimens often display some of the most visually striking enamel colors found anywhere in the world due to unique sediment chemistry.
Highly collectible and visually stunning, this tooth is an excellent addition for both new and experienced fossil collectors, especially those building regional, color-variety, or high-end Megalodon collections.
Where This Fossil Comes From
This Megalodon tooth was discovered in the prehistoric marine deposits of West Java, an area rich in fossil shark material. Over millions of years, minerals in the surrounding sediments seeped into the tooth, creating the beautiful coloration Indonesian fossils are known for today.
These deposits are often found in inland areas due to ancient shifts in sea levels—providing a window into the vibrant coastal ecosystems that existed millions of years ago.

About the Megalodon Shark
Otodus Megalodon was the largest predatory shark to ever exist, reaching lengths of 50–60 feet and feeding on whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals. During the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, it dominated warm oceans across the world, including the region that would eventually become modern-day Indonesia.
