Description from the seller
~Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the seabed. This gives it a beautiful, robust appearance and an authentic, "lived-in" look — pure nature.
Compared with 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 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 United States restoration is much less common, which means most finds—as with this specimen—have remained fully authentic.
This tooth is 100% original and not restored, with a powerful root and fine natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.
Details:
- Not restored or repaired – a 100% authentic fossil in its natural state
- Well-preserved edges and a robust structure
- Provenance: North Carolina, United States
- Age: Miocene epoch, about 20 million years old
- The Megalodon was the largest shark ever to live, reaching 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 prehistory into your home — perfect for any collector who values real, authentic finds.
