AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Megalodon-tand from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA

This very impressive lower jaw Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the seabed. This gives a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature. But this tooth truly has perfect serrations, which is certainly unique among USA teeth!

Compared with fossils from other localities, 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 a smoother enamel due to the sediment in which they are found, but are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the USA restoration is much less common, so most discoveries – like this specimen – have remained fully authentic.

This tooth is 100% original and unrestored, with a powerful root and lovely 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
- Megalodon was the largest shark to have ever lived, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils

Shipping:
- Insured shipping with track & trace
- Carefully packed with adequate 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 genuine, unaltered finds.
