Megalodon Tooth Position ID
Hi everyone!
I have a large Otodus megalodon tooth measuring approximately 6.25 inches from the Philippines (it also has some wavy/ pinched serrations along the blade near the root).
I’m interested in determining where exactly this tooth would have been positioned in the shark’s mouth.
Specifically, I’d like to know:
Whether it came from the upper or lower jaw.
Whether it’s an anterior, lateral, or posterior tooth.
If possible, its approximate tooth position (e.g., A1, A2, L1, etc.).
Thanks in advance!
