AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

~Megalodon-tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA

This impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the seabed. This results in a strikingly robust appearance and an authentic, “aged” look – pure nature.

Compared with fossils from other localities, such as Indonesia, US 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 U.S., restoration is much less common, so most finds – such as this specimen – have remained fully authentic.

This tooth is 100% original and unrestored, with a powerful root and handsome natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.

Details:

Not restored or repaired – a 100% authentic fossil in its natural state
Well-preserved edges and a robust structure
Origin: North Carolina, United States
Age: Miocene epoch, about 20 million years old
The Megalodon was the largest shark to have ever lived, with lengths up to 18 meters – its teeth are true icons among fossils

Shipping:

Add this unique fossil to your collection and bring a powerful piece of prehistory into your home – perfect for any collector who values genuine, unaltered finds.
