Show me your South American Megalodon Teeth!

[JorisVV]

One of the newer teeth in my Megalodon tooth collection. I have been collecting Megalodon Teeth for some months. now.

The tooth is around 4 8/16 inches big and has some restoration on the root.

 

I love the colors and serrations! Show me your South American megalodon teeth!

Interesting collection. Is this a meg tooth with atavistic side cusps?

 

 

 

Cheers.

Ken,
 

Wrinkles that formed. I assume from crowding.

They do look wrinkly from the labial side but from the lingual side they really do resemble the side cusps of the earlier chrono-species. Those species never had teeth that reached the size of this whopper so there is something interesting going on here either pathologically or atavistically. Quite cool!

 

 

Cheers.
