type: Product
description: This is a outstanding sharply serrated fossil Megalodon tooth collected in West Java, Indonesia. It has wonderful blue enamel and sharp serrations. Only small part of the tip is missing. Original root as well, just 2 small sectors on the top end of the root tips are broken and filled (restored). Megalodon teeth from West Java, Indonesia have started hitting the market in the past couple years, but the prices have finally started to come down from stratospheric levels. They are "mined" from land sites and typically have excellent color though the coloration can vary from layer to layer. Megalodon teeth from Indonesia, particularly from West Java, are highly sought after by collectors for their exceptional,, pristine enamel, vivid coloration (tans, golds, reds), and intact, sharp serrations. Unlike river-worn teeth, these are mined from limestone, resulting in sharp, detailed specimens usually dating to the Miocene/Pliocene epochs. Key Features of Indonesian Megalodon Teeth Location & Origin: Primarily sourced from West Java, Indonesia, from land-based mining operations rather than ocean diving. Coloration: Known for vibrant, unique colors, including cream, yellow, tan, golden-brown, and sometimes rare blues, resulting from mineral-rich soil. Preservation: The enamel is often in "glassy" condition, with sharp, well-preserved serrations and, in many cases, a complete, distinct bourlette (gum line). Age: Roughly 2 to 15 million years old (Miocene to Pliocene periods). Size: Ranging from small to very large, with rare, high-quality, 6-inch+ specimens found. Considerations for Collectors Root Condition: While the enamel is usually pristine, the roots of Indonesian teeth are sometimes eroded due to acidic soil. Restoration: Due to mining, some teeth may be struck by tools and require repair or restoration; therefore, it is advised to check for "no restoration" disclosures on high-value specimens. Price: Prices vary, but high-quality, large, and perfectly preserved specimen…
