AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

~Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seafloor. This yields a beautiful rugged appearance and an authentic, “weathered” look – pure nature.



Compared with fossils from other localities, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and a high degree of originality. Indonesian teeth can sometimes show sharper serrations and a smoother enamel due to the type of sediment in which they are found, but they are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the USA, restoration is much less common, which means most finds — like this specimen — have remained fully authentic.

This tooth is 100% original and not restored, with a strong root and fine natural details. A remarkable and genuine piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.
