AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This robust impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This provides a beautiful rugged appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.
Compared to fossils from other sites, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and high degree of originality. Indonesian teeth can sometimes show sharper serrations and a smoother enamel due to the sediment in which they are found, but are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the USA restoration is far less common, making most finds – such as this specimen – 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 rugged structure
- Provenance: North Carolina, United States
- Age: Miocene period, about 20 million years old
- The Megalodon was the largest shark to ever live, growing up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils
Shipping:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- Carefully packed with adequate protection
- Dispatch within 3 business days
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, unvarnished finds.
