Genuine Prehistoric Fossil Tooth — Megalodon 3.59", North Carolina,

This is a genuine fossilized megalodon tooth, measuring 3.59", recovered from offshore North Carolina, one of the most famous megalodon fossil localities in the world. A display stand is included, as shown in photos.

Ancient river channels and fossil-rich formations lie beneath the North Carolina coastline, laid down during shallow Miocene and Pliocene seas that were ideal habitat for megalodon and the whales it hunted. Ocean currents and storms continue to expose these fossil layers today, allowing divers to recover teeth like this one from the seafloor.

This tooth survives as a fossil because it was dense and enamel-coated, unlike megalodon's cartilage skeleton, which broke down quickly after death. North Carolina megalodon teeth are known for their classic coastal coloring, creams, tans, blue-gray, and greenish enamel, giving this specimen its own unique wear pattern and color from millions of years in moving seawater.
