It has a beautiful heart shape with semi glossy enamel and the warm golden brown color North Carolina teeth are known for. The edges are still nicely serrated. It's a wide, heavy tooth with great display presence, and a standout piece for anyone wanting a large North Carolina meg for their collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDisplay stand included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAncient 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGuaranteed 100% authentic.
