meg.cu Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Just received pictures of my Cuban megalodon tooth that is nearly finished being restored. The tooth is one of the nicest I have ever seen. Here are before and after pictures. "Message me for info on Fossil Collecting in Cuba. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meg.cu Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Before resto it measured around 6.2". I think it measures 6.375" now. That is what Matty thought the tooth would have measured naturally, the saw shaved a small portion of the top backside of both root lobes. "Message me for info on Fossil Collecting in Cuba.

RJB Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Wow! Really nice restore job! But why was it cut with a saw in the first place? Some kind of working quarry? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
