Description from the seller

Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA

This impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This yields a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” 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 crisper serrations and smoother enamel due to the sediment in which they are found, but are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the U.S., 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:

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 period, about 20 million years old
The Megalodon was the largest shark to have ever lived, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils

Shipping:
- Insured shipping with track & trace
- Carefully packed with adequate protection
- Shipping within 3 business days

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