Own an Authentic Megalodon Tooth Recovered From the Atlantic Seafloor

Grading System

Every DeepWaterFossils specimen is graded on four factors: size, completeness, enamel coverage, and remaining serration. Enamel is the hard, dark outer shell of the tooth — the more intact, the rarer and more valuable the specimen. These factors are weighted into a quality score of 1–10.

Size Measurement

All sizes are measured along the longest diagonal axis of the tooth in inches, reported to three decimal places. Centimeter equivalents are calculated at 2.54 cm per inch and shown in parentheses on each listing.

Pricing Philosophy

Prices reflect size, grade, species rarity, and enamel condition — not artificial scarcity or retail markup. Collector Grade commands a premium because fewer exist. Every price is set by the diver who recovered the specimen.

DeepWaterFossils is a working dive operation based off the coast of North Carolina. Every specimen in our inventory was personally recovered by our dive team — 20 to 50 miles offshore, at depth, on the Atlantic seafloor.

Megalodon teeth sink to the ocean floor and fossilize over millions of years. They are preserved in sediment until a diver recovers them. Each tooth in our shop was found exactly that way — by hand, underwater, by one of our divers.

We sell directly to collectors, gift buyers, and approved resellers. No middlemen. No wholesale sourcing. The diver who found your tooth is the same person who listed it.
