AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

~Megalodon tooth from the Mioceen – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This gives a beautiful robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.

Compared to fossils from other sites, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and 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 repaired or even partially reconstructed. In the USA, restoration is much less common, so most finds – like this specimen – have remained fully authentic.

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

Details:

Origin: North Carolina, United States
Age: Miocene epoch, about 20 million years old
The Megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils
