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 this are found directly on the seabed. This gives it a beautiful, robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature. But this tooth has many serrations, which is certainly unique among US teeth!

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 display 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 partly 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 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 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 ever to live, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils

Shipping:
- insured shipping with track & trace

- 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 real, authentic finds.
