AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

~Megalodon-tand from the Mioceen – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like this 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 localities, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and high level of originality. Indonesian teeth can sometimes exhibit sharper serrations and a smoother enamel due to the type of sediment in which they are found, but are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the US, 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 attractive 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 that ever lived, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils

Shipping:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- Carefully packed with adequate protection
- Shipment within 3 business days

Add this unique fossil to your collection and bring a powerful piece of prehistoric history into your home – perfect for any collector who values real, unadulterated finds.
