Description from the seller

~Megalodon tooth from the Mioceen – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This provides a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.

Compared with 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 type in which they are found, but are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the USA restoration is far less common, so most finds – like this specimen – have remained completely 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:

Unrestored or unrepaired – a 100% authentic fossil in its natural state
Well-preserved edges and a robust structure
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
Shipping:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- Carefully packed with adequate protection
- Shipping within 3 working 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.
