This remarkable Megalodon tooth showcases a captivating gradient of colors, transitioning from a medium chestnut brown with a hint of orange at the cusp to a warm sandy beige at the base. Delicate grayish undertones and faint dark streaks whisper across its surface, adding to the depth and allure of this ancient marine relic. The enamel's glossy, polished finish enhances its natural luster, creating a tactile contrast against the rugged, matte-textured root.
Noteworthy for its well-preserved state, this fossil features subtle but well-defined serrations that vividly reflect the apex predator characteristics of the Megalodon. Exceptionally maintained, the tooth exhibits minimal wear, retaining its original shape with only minor surface imperfections, which is rare for specimens of such antiquity.

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

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.
