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 seabed. This provides a beautiful robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.

This unique tooth has a completely different color on both sides, which is related to the type of mineral the tooth has been immersed in, and this indicates that the tooth has partly lain somewhere, giving this tooth a very unique appearance! You almost never see this!

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

This tooth is 100% original and not restored, with a powerful root and beautiful 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
Origin: North Carolina, United States
Age: Miocene period, about 20 million years old
The Megalodon was the largest shark to have ever lived, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils

Shipping:

- Shipping 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, authentic finds.
