4 9/16" Megalodon Shark ToothI found this tooth completely exposed with the front side down in a hole I was digging a few months ago. I really wish I had brought my camera, because this tooth was almost posing for a ground shot. You just never know when a nice fossil is going to be in a chunk of dirt that is just thrown aside in a digging frenzy. Its got a great root, serrations, and color. The bourlette is about 70% intact, and the tip is pretty sharp for a land found megalodon tooth.

| Only a small line of peel right under the bourlette is missing from this fine shark tooth. |
