Megalodon tooth specimen from North America, Neogene–Miocene (about 23.0 to 5.3 million years old), 100% original and naturally preserved.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This sturdy impressive Megalodon tooth originates from the United States, where fossils like these are found directly on the seabed. This results in a beautifully robust 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 exhibit 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 discoveries – like this specimen – have remained 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.

The Megalodon was the largest shark to have ever lived, reaching up to 18 meters in length – its teeth are true icons among fossils
