These teeth often show excellent preservation with unique coloration influenced by their burial environment—ranging from jet black to tan, orange, blue-gray, and even rare patterned hues. Their size makes them easy to handle, display, and store while still representing one of the most iconic fossils on the planet.

Whether lightly worn or beautifully preserved, each tooth in this collection is hand-selected for authenticity and quality, ensuring you get a fossil that truly stands out.

Where These Fossils Come From

Most of our 2-inch and under Megalodon teeth originate from fossil-rich regions of the Southeastern United States, including North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida riverbeds. These locations were ancient coastal environments where Megalodon thrived between 3 and 23 million years ago. Over millions of years, the teeth settled into sediment layers, becoming mineralized and fossilized. Divers and collectors carefully recover them today, allowing these ancient treasures to be preserved for modern collectors.
