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 gives a beautifully sturdy appearance and an authentic, “lived-in” look – pure nature.
Compared to 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 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 US, restoration is much less common, meaning most finds – like this specimen – have remained completely 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.
Highlights:
- Unrestored or unrepaired – 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 packaged 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 real, unfaked finds.
