Yep! Each megatooth here was naturally fossilized and hand-recovered by yours truly.
- Carefully collected and kept strictly in fresh water (no chemicals).
- Ocean deposits removed with gentle brushing and precision.
- Natural oils applied to combat dryness and revitalize.
- No restoration, false polish or artificial repair.
Big: over 3 inches to Biggest: over 5. The most ridiculous meg tooth I ever found is almost 6 ½! Unreal O. megalodon size estimations are based on the most recent model(s).
I make mounts and feature pieces out of solid burl wood. They have swirling grain and organic forms; like meg teeth, no two are ever alike.
They're carefully selected to match & complement the fossil it holds. Mounted securely (yet always removable) using driftwood holds and clean, minimal hardware.
Wood is naturally finished for the deepest possible glow, while elegant information plaques add to the story.
Big: Auctions begin at $1 and are never limited to reserves.
Bigger / Biggest: In-store prices and Buy-it-Now values reflect rarity, size and condition:
- Size: measured in slant height: the longest line from tip to root.
- Condition: full enamel, smooth root, visible bourlette, and intact tip.
- Special features: unique coloring, serrations, and symmetry.
- Completeness: tip, bourlette, and all 3 points.
Let me know if you’re looking for something specific: size, color, mount style, or an awesome gift!
Pricing follows a logarithmic curve where Pₜ is value of the tooth:
- Pₜ = e^β₀ · (Size)^β₁ · (Condition)^β₂ · (SpecialFeatures)^β₃ · (Completeness)^β₄
Model Fit: Based on log–log regression of real market data (n = 455). The model explains 90% of price variation (Adjusted R² ≈ 0.897), with size (β₁) highly significant (p < 0.001). Condition, completeness, and special features were moderately significant contributors (p < 0.05).
