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 seafloor. This gives a beautiful, robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.

Compared to fossils from other localities, 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 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 unrestored, with a powerful root and lovely natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.

Details:

- Unrestored or unrepaired – a 100% authentic fossil in its natural state
- Well-preserved edges and a robust structure
- Provenance: North Carolina, United States
- Age: Miocene epoch, about 20 million years old
- The Megalodon was the largest shark to have 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
- Dispatch 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, unadulterated finds.
