Description from the seller

Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA

This very impressive lowerjaw Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This gives a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature. But this tooth has truly perfect serrations, which is certainly unique among USA teeth!

Compared to fossils from other locations, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and high degree of originality. Indonesian teeth may 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 unrestored, with a powerful root and beautiful natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.

Details:

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

Add this unique fossil to your collection and bring a powerful piece of prehistoric history into your home – perfect for any collector who values genuine, unadulterated finds.
