AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

~Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This gives a wonderfully sturdy appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – purely natural.

Compared to fossils from other sites, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and high level of originality. Indonesian teeth can sometimes display sharper serrations and a smoother enamel due to the type of sediment in which they are found, but are also more often repaired 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 unrestored, with a powerful root and beautiful natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.
