Unfortunately it's a fabrication. The Megalodon tooth is real, as is the fossil whale vertebra but the tooth has been artificially mounted in it to create a display. Neverless it is still a cool coversation piece. You can find similar displays available for sale online and they are typically honest with the description. There are a few issues with the display from the stand point of reality.
