Description from the seller
~Megalodon tooth from the Miocene – North Carolina, USA
This impressive Megalodon tooth comes from the United States, where fossils like this are found directly on the seafloor. This provides a beautifully robust appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.
Compared to fossils from other sites, such as Indonesia, USA teeth are known for their solid, strong roots and high degree of originality. Indonesian teeth may sometimes feature sharper serrations and smoother enamel due to the sediment type in which they are found, but they are also more often restored or even partially reconstructed. In the USA, restoration is far less common, so most finds – like this specimen – remain fully authentic.
This tooth is 100% original and unrestored, with a powerful root and lovely 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
- Origin: North Carolina, United States
- Age: Miocene period, about 20 million years old
- Megalodon was the largest shark ever to live, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils
Shipping:
- Insured shipping with tracking
- Carefully packed with ample protection
- Ships 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 genuine, unvarnished finds.
