Carcharocles megalodon Tooth
Age: Pliocene
Formation: Yorktown Formation
Location: Lee Creek Mine Aurora, North Carolina
Size: Tooth is 3.1 inches long
This is a very collectible fossil shark tooth from Aurora. It is an outstanding Carcharocles megalodon tooth in matrix from the famous Lee Creek Mine of North Carolina. Megalodon teeth from North Carolina are becoming very scarce, since public fossil collecting was curtailed a few years ago. This tooth is extremely robust and has a very solid and substantial root. The serrations are well preserved and razor-sharp. The enamel of the tooth is fully intact and has nice natural coloration. The very tip of the tooth has feeding damage - the tooth was broken in the shark's mouth because the tip has been worn since the break, The tooth is still beautifully encased in the rock it was found - this is not a beach or river tooth! This is an excellent Meg tooth still in matrix from the famous Lee Creek Mine in Aurora, North Carolina
