Megalodon tooth specimen from North America dating to the Mioocene/Neogene (about 20 million years ago), in natural condition and 100% authentic and unrestored, with dimensions 12 cm high, 8.6 cm wide and 2 cm deep.
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 yields a beautifully sturdy 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 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 far less common, meaning most finds – such as this specimen – have remained 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:
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, 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 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, unadulterated finds.
