AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Megalodon lower jaw tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This very impressive Megalodon lower jaw tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like these are often found directly on the seabed. This gives a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature. But this tooth has truly perfect serrations, which is certainly unique among USA teeth!
Compared to fossils from other sites, 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 smoother enamel due to the type of sediment in which they are found, but they are also more often repaired or even partially reconstructed. In the US, restoration is much less common, so most finds – like this specimen – remain fully authentic.
This tooth is 100% original and unrestored, 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
- Provenance: North Carolina, United States
- Age: Miocene period, about 20 million years old
- The Megalodon was the largest shark ever to live, reaching lengths of up to 18 meters – its teeth are true icons among fossils
Shipping:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- Carefully packaged with ample 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 real, authentic finds.
