Behold a true marvel of prehistoric nature - a massive Megalodon tooth, one of the most striking and recognizable fossils known. This particular specimen is a giant among giants, measuring an awe-inspiring 144mm (5.6 inches) from root to tip. Found off the coast of North Carolina, USA, by a team of trusted divers, this tooth is a rare window into the world of the Megalodon, an apex predator whose size and power dominated the Cenozoic seas.
The tooth's impressive dimensions, larger than the size of an average hand, bring to life the enormity of this prehistoric shark. It's not just large; it's monumental, dwarfing most other fossils in sheer magnitude. Its triangular shape and robust structure are clear indicators of the Megalodon's formidable hunting prowess.
Aged between 13.8 and 16 million years, this tooth offers invaluable insights into one of the most significant marine predators ever to exist. Its size and distinctive shape make it a coveted piece for collectors and paleontology enthusiasts alike. This fossil is 100% original, with no repairs or restorations, maintaining its authentic integrity.
To truly grasp the scale of this fossil, check out the image on our homepage featuring myself, Eamonn, holding this enormous tooth. It's much more impressive in person than any photo can convey – a real-life testament to the ancient oceans.

Why We Choose Not to Provide Certificate Of Authentications
Why We Choose Not to Provide Certificate Of Authentications
The value of a COA largely depends on the credibility of the issuer. There is no central agency that issues Certificates Of Authenticity for Megalodon Teeth, and a COA can be made by anyone with a printer. COAs from unknown or unverifiable sources can be less reliable. Without a reputable and recognized name behind it, a COA may not provide the assurance collectors seek.
If a COA can be easily reproduced, modified, or mass-produced, it loses its effectiveness. COAs that are simple to forge or duplicate do not provide the security and verification that a collector would need. A COA without a serial number and a photo of the tooth on the certificate to ensure a match can be made between the two adds little to no value. You should also have a way to verify this information. Instead, we choose to provide a detailed information sheet with each purchase and an authenticity guarantee. Read more below.

Providing Detailed Information Sheets

This sheet includes comprehensive locality information and specifics about the tooth, offering a more informative and transparent background than a standard mass-produced COA.
