Jerrychang Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Just acquired this megalodon tooth from Indonesia, it has some kind of etching all over the crown, but both root and the crown are solid, not like most of the land find indo meg. I’m wondering if this tooth is digested ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_ Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I have seen similar "damage" to crowns through my time looking around the internet.... each time "digested tooth" is mentioned. Is it actually digested, I can't say. It's certainly plausible though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 It looks typical of a “leached” tooth that was found near the surface where it would have been exposed to weathering. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
