CMX-9662 - The little "root nibs" at the bottom, outside edge of the root lobes and general tooth shape tell us that this tooth is from one of the last of the megalodons before extinction. This animal lived during the Pliocene (2 to 5 MYA). The serrations were "evolving out" and were not very pronounced during the last few million years of this animal's existence. They are worn in spots from 40% to 60%. (See 10X Microscope Edge View.) The tip is very clean and only slightly rounded which is very unusual for this size tooth. The bourrelet is 99% complete which is also very rare for the size. There is a small right hand, display side root crack that does not go through the tooth and is completely stable.
