Megalodon tooth specimen from North America, Miocene (Neogene) about 20 million years old, in natural, unrestored condition and 100% original.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seafloor. This gives it a beautifully rugged appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.

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 are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the USA, restoration is far less common, which means most finds – like this specimen – remain fully authentic.

This tooth is 100% original and unreconstructed, with a powerful root and lovely natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.
