Description from the seller
Megalodon jawbone tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This very impressive Megalodon lower jaw tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like this 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 localities, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and high degree of originality. Indonesian teeth can sometimes display sharper serrations and a smoother enamel due to the type of sediment in which they are found, but they are also more often repaired 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 fine 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, 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:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- Carefully packed with ample protection
- Shipping within 3 business days
Add this unique fossil to your collection and bring a powerful piece of prehistory into your home – perfect for any collector who values genuine, unaltered finds.
