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 these are found directly on the sea floor. This gives a beautiful, rugged appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.

Compared to fossils from other locations, 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 restored or even partially reconstructed. In the US, 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 lovely natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.

Details:
