Specimen Megalodon from North America, a Neogene–Miocene tooth (about 23.03–5.33 million years old) in natural, unrestored condition.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the seabed. This creates a beautifully 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 a high degree of originality. Indonesian teeth can sometimes display sharper serrations and a smoother enamel due to the sediment type 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 unrestored, with a powerful root and fine natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.
