Pathological Carcharodon megalodon sharks teeth specimens

Pathological teeth from the famous Carcharodon megalodon shark. Pathological teeth are teeth marked by abnormalities caused by disease, congenital defects, or sometimes damage.

Obviously, pathological teeth are rarer than normal teeth - most teeth are (or were) healthy, so pathological Megalodon teeth are a rarity!

Some examples of pathologies include rippled edges, multiple points to the tooth, a strong curve to the overall tooth, or 'in grown' edges.

 

Our current stock includes:

#1 - 96x84x27MM approx specimen from Florida, USA, with the 96MM size measured down the centre, rather than along the edge. The longest edge is around 110MM. This tooth unfortunately has a broken root and is missing the very tip and one 'corner' nearest to the root. It exhibits a curve to the tooth which seems to curve upwards from where you would expect it to go. In addition, wavy sections are visible along the serrated edges - these should not be mistaken for the beginnings of the evolution of cusps though, they are simply wavy cutting edges, possibly caused by compression of the tooth at an early stage in development.

Frequently asked questions and delivery information


How do we grade stones?

There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.

 

How does our ordering and delivery process work?

You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.

I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.

 

How do international orders work?

After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.

 

I’d like to return my order for a refund.

No problem at all – just get in touch and we’ll arrange it. You can read our full returns policy here.

 

What payment methods do you accept?

I can accept Paypal, Stripe, cheque, and direct bank transfers. Paypal and Stripe will both allow you to pay with credit and debit cards.
