A few more Indonesian megs - any restorations?
patrickhudson posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
A few more Indonesian megs here I’m looking into. I’m mostly concerned about the roots and cementum areas. any major restorations you are seeing? I love the colors of the blades and just want to make sure I’m not getting hosed on anything fake. Thanks so much for all your input and expertise . -
Restored Indonesian megs?
patrickhudson posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Those dark lines sure look odd and the cusps nice and Pointy make me wonder. I’m assuming they’re heavily restored, but was curious about your thoughts. thanks everyone -
Went out to Matoaka Beach this past wednesday for a sunny but pretty chilly day of fossil hunting. While I do enjoy chatting with other fossil hunters, having the beach pretty much to myself for the day was really nice. After a couple of hours pretty close to low tide, I spotted a sizable crocodile tooth rolling in the surf. I was already stoked about that, but the best was yet to come. Maybe about 30 minutes later, I was sifting around with my shark tooth sifter, and my breath caught, spotting this small but complete and terrific looking megalodon tooth. My first one! As always (a

I have here a Meg tooth, around 6", that has been repaired. No restorations have been declared, but I wanted to make sure there were no red flags. Does there appear to be any restorations on this tooth? Thank you, Bellamy

Looking for opinions On whether BV transitional GW or not.
Familyroadtrip posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hey everyone! i was wondering If I could get your opinion on two things with this tooth. 1)does this look like It was found in a BV, golden beach, Etc. location? 2)I had someone suggest that this may be a transitional GW, due to the fact that the serrations are uneven, and get larger, and smaller depending on where you look, even though the serrations don’t seem damaged. -
Hi everyone! This is my first post here on the forum in what feels like forever. I'd like to be active here again, and thought there was no better way to kick it off than showcasing my meg tooth! Some of you may have already seen the tooth on my Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, but I wanted to make a post on here as well. I found the tooth last week along Calvert Cliffs. It's approximately 4.1" slant height and in near perfect condition. It even has that iconic Calvert Blue color on the crown that I love so much! I've been dreaming about finding a tooth like this ever since I start

Hi everyone, I have here a 1" tooth identified as a Megalodon from West Java, Indonesia, allegedly a new creek locality. I know that smaller Megs may not necessarily have bourlettes, but there do not appear to be serrations. This could probably be explained by river wear. In any case, might this be a Meg, or could it be something else? Best, Bellamy

Hey! does anyone have any advice for a beginner on how to get decent serrations while restoring megs?

The two larger teeth were assumed to be megs when I found them Saturday in a housing development outside of Bradenton, Florida. When I arrived back home and looked closer, I began questioning if they could be Great White. The third tooth confuses me. I have not seen this thin enamel in the shark teeth I find. Is it fish (Barracuda?) instead?

I know I know its not real. The Meg teeth are real and that's a real fossil Stegodon jaw but..... I found it on Facebook and as luck would have it, its for sale. Location, Indonesia of course. A lot of very cool fossils have been coming out of that area and onto the market recently and then there's this

Hi, I found this tooth in Florida Miocene Polk county. There are serration impressions on it but I don’t know you can see them from the pics.

I know there is one for sure Meg... what is the smaller one??!! These are from central Florida.

All I was told is this tooth was from England, it looks like an otodus to me , which is most likely as they are a lot more common than English megs and it matches the colours of London clay also I can’t see any serrations

Back to the River for another adventure. Luckily I am just an hour away on a nice straight route with little traffic. As I started out yesterday there was a really bad fog layer causing visibility to be extremely limited. I had the fog lights and low beams on in the jeep and kept the speed down to 10 mph below the speed limit. I have been hit by deer and have seen several on the trip in the past. Didn't want to risk a wild life encounter enroute to the river. After getting about half way there the fog lifted and I was back to normal visibility until I got to Rte 17 when I drove into anoth

Hello, can anyone help me to understand if this tooth is original, a copy or restored? -

Decided I needed to get to the Peace River today due to negative weather heading this way. Cold front bringing rain in tomorrow night that will probably raise the river above searchable levels for several days. Temp was 55 degrees on arrival with an expected high of 80. Put the wet suit on and was glad I did. Water level was down a few inches from my last trip but the current was still moving pretty fast. Got to my target site at about 8:30 am and dug/sifted for 3 hours with very little luck. I only came up with a hand full of small shark teeth, 2 gator teeth and a small caliber bullet.
