    Description

    This is an attractive
    Carcharocles Megalodon Shark Tooth Fossil from New Caledonia in the South Pacific Ocean!
    It was dredged up from over 1000 feet of water! This is WAY too deep for SCUBA diving! Teeth from this location are no longer able to be obtained and have not been for quite some time which makes them very scarce. This tooth is from an old collection and is now available for your collection!
    This tooth measures 3-3/4 inches on the long slant by 2-3/4 inches wide.
    AN IMPRESSIVE HAND FULL TO SAY THE LEAST!!!
    The long slant measurement is from the tip to the longest root corner which is generally accepted as the standard among most collectors.
    Most teeth from this location have been polished which leaves them with a distinctive "V" cut where the chevron or bourlette would have naturally been. This cut is due to the polishing process to make them attractive again. Most of the teeth from this location were in extremely bad shape when found is why they were polished in the first place. No one in their right mind would ever polish a perfect tooth!
    You will always receive the exact item in the photos with all of our listings.
    This tooth has NOT been restored or repaired in any way. It HAS been polished with lapidary equipment which is the same equipment used to polish fine gem stones. There have been no colors, paint or material added to this tooth at all.
    It is a 100% authentic fossil 100% GUARANTEED!
    We do not sell replicas, reproductions or fakes of any kind, ever.
    FAQ'S:
    Q: Do you provide a certificate of authenticity?
    A:
    We do not offer certificates of authenticity with any of our fossils because there is no unbiased third party services for fossils as you may be familiar with for man-made items such as coins and sports cards. No 2 fossils are alike or identical so it would be impossible to come up with an accurate or fair grading system. If I provided a certificate it would just be me simply printing it on my computer. Anyone selling any fossils who offers a certificate is simply printing it on their computer. I'm sure this isn't the answer you were hoping for but it is the honest truth. You can take any fossil we sell to your local natural history museum and they will be able to verify it is indeed a fossil. It will depend upon their knowledge of the fossils from different geographical locations as to whether they can verify the location but they absolutely SHOULD be able to verify an authentic fossil. As it stands, I have been collecting fossils for roughly 35 years and I only deal with reputable dealers, divers and collectors. I also have found countless fossils on my own. So with that said, I offer a 100% guarantee that all of my fossils are authentic and are from the stated location. You could even print this Ebay listing description and it would be equally as valuable as any certificate I could make.
    All items will be packaged very securely for shipment and includes free shipping with insurance & tracking number.
