Description from the seller

This robust, impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This provides a striking, rugged 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 show sharper serrations and smoother enamel due to the type of sediment in which they are found, but are also more often repaired or even partially reconstructed. In the U.S., restoration is far less common, so most finds—like this specimen—have remained fully authentic.

This tooth is 100% original and unrestored, with a powerful root and pleasing natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.
