Unearth a Prehistoric Gem: A Megalodon Tooth from Indonesia
Dive into the heart of West Java, Indonesia, and discover a treasure trove of prehistoric marvels with our latest addition: top-quality Megalodon teeth. Estimated to be between 10 to 15 million years old, unearthed from the rich limestone deposits that have protected them for millions of years, these teeth are a rare find in the world of fossil collection. As global hunting grounds become scarce, the Megalodon teeth from West Java emerge as a spectacular find, boasting brilliant colours, incredible serrations, and sizes that speak volumes of their ancient owners' might.
A Spectrum of Natural Beauty
Each tooth is a masterpiece of natural art, with colours ranging across a spectrum from tans and golds to mesmerising blues and blacks, often presenting in patterns that captivate the imagination.

Exceptional Preservation
What sets these specimens apart is not just their aesthetic appeal but their pristine condition.

The razor sharp serrations, perfectly intact, extend in an extraordinary fashion into the solid root, a testament to the exceptional preservation process offered by the limestone matrix. Despite a slight chip on one edge, this near-perfect tooth maintains its stunning appearance.
Unearthed with Care

Each tooth represents a slice of prehistoric life, brought to light with great care. The meticulous extraction process ensures that each fossil is preserved in its natural state, offering collectors an authentic piece of history.

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.
Our Approach to Authenticity
Our Approach to Authenticity
We source our Megalodon teeth directly from divers & miners, providing a clear chain of provenance. This direct sourcing from known locations ensures that each tooth is handled carefully from the moment it's found, guaranteeing authenticity.
Providing Detailed Information Sheets
Providing Detailed Information Sheets
Instead of a COA, we provide a detailed, framed information sheet with each megalodon tooth over $100. Teeth Under $100 still include an information sheet however it is not framed. This sheet includes comprehensive locality information and specifics about the tooth, offering a more informative and transparent background than a standard mass-produced COA.
