AI-assisted summary
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 provides a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.
In comparison 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 display 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, so most finds – like 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.
Notable features:
- 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 lengths up to 18 meters – its teeth are true icons among fossils
Shipping:
- Insured shipping with track & trace
- Carefully packed with sufficient protection
- Shipping 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.
