AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
~Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the seabed. This yields a beautiful rugged appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature. But this tooth has many 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 type of sediment in which they are found, but are also more often restored 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 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 to have ever lived, reaching lengths of up to 18 meters – its teeth are true icons among fossils
Shipping:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- 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 true, unaltered finds.
