Description from the seller

~Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA

This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This gives a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look — pure nature. But this tooth has nearly perfect serrations, which is certainly unique among USA teeth!

Compared with 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 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 US restoration is much less common, which means most finds – such as 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 genuine 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 period, about 20 million years old
- The Megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived, with a length of up to 18 meters – its teeth are true icons among fossils

Shipping:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- Carefully packaged with ample protection
- Dispatch 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 genuine, authentic finds.
