Description from the seller

~Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the sea floor. This gives it a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “used” look – pure nature.

Compared to fossils from other sites, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and a high degree of originality. Indonesian teeth can sometimes exhibit sharper serrations and a smoother enamel due to the sediment in which they are found, but are also more often repaired or even partially reconstructed. In the US, restoration is much less common, so most discoveries – such as 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:

• Unrestored or unrepaired – a 100% authentic fossil in its natural state

• Well-preserved edges and a robust structure

• Provenance: North Carolina, United States

• Age: Miocene period, ~20 million years old

The Megalodon was the largest shark to have ever lived, with a length 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 working 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, unadulterated finds.
