Megalodon tooth specimen from North America, dating to the Miocene Neogene period (about 23.0–5.3 million years ago), in natural condition and 100% authentic, measuring 12.7 × 9.9 × 1.8 cm.
Description from the seller
This impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the seabed. This gives 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 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 U.S., restoration is much less common, which is why most discoveries — like this specimen — have remained fully authentic.
This tooth is 100% original and unrestored, with a powerful root and handsome natural details. A special and honest piece for the serious collector who values authenticity.

Well-preserved edges and a robust structure
Origin: 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

Add this unique fossil to your collection and bring a powerful piece of prehistory into your home — perfect for any collector who values real, unadulterated finds.
