Megalodon Tooth Necklace?

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

I got a megalodon tooth necklace from a antique shop , and I want to know if it is real and if it is a megalodon tooth?

 

 

 

 

 

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

I really wanna know if it is real

It's real, but looks more like a Mako tooth, to me.  No serrations. No bourlette. So, not a Meg.
Wait for other opinions, though, as I am not a shark tooth expert.

Does not look like Megalodon. More like White shark lineage species Carcharodon.

So it could be a great white ? Thanks for helping ! It’s about 2.3 inches if that helps more

Does it have serrations? It doesn't seem to.
Great whites would have serrations.
Mako sharks do not.

It’s does have serrations it isn’t a lot I can try send a photo

On both sides it has the same , there is a similar tooth at the shop that is more broken. If I can get a photo tomorrow I can send it as well

If Im not mistaken C. hastalis is often referred as Mako, but is actually early White shark without serrations. And serrations started to evolve in the lineage.

If it helps anyway , the tooth is quite thick and more than 2 inches long

Like I said, I'm not a shark tooth expert or even that knowledgeable.
So thanks for that clarification.

Would you be able to take close up picture of the serrations? From angle of first pictures.

Those might be weared, but it might help.

Im personaly not able to pinpoint exact species, but perhaps someone is able to help.

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

Yea sure

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

I got a tooth from an antique shop , it is 2.3 inches long but a bit broken on tip. I want to know if the tooth is real or not

The crown looks real but the way the root and crown meet does not look right to me. Also, there is no bourlette so either it is not a meg (perhaps Great White) or they faked the root and forgot to fake a bourlette.

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

Hello! The root in real life doesn’t look or feel fake , I can send side photos and other photos of the tooth

 

 

[Fin Lover]

More pictures (closer up) would be helpful.

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

Sure! If it is a great white I don’t mind I just really wanna know

Definitely not a meg.  I see many red flags in the crown and in the root.  At best, this is a very worn, repaired, puttied, painted great white tooth and at worst a total fake.

I can send a couple better photos of it

 

[Fin Lover]

I personally think the root has been altered (or added), but let's see what others say.

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

Do you think it is a fake tooth?
 

[Fin Lover]

No, I think the crown is a real Great White crown, but I think something has been done to the root.  Great White teeth in my area rarely have roots, so I think they probably either added one or repaired it.

[Paleo___1111___Rugut]

Is the crown the enamel? And I might buy a other tooth tomorrow if I did can I ask you what it is?
