  1. I know the bourlette on a shark tooth is the chevron shaped material between the enamel and the root, but what was it actually? Clearly it is not root or enamel, but did it serve a specific purpose? Was it structural? An attachment point for a ligament? A conduit for nutrients into the tooth? That they seem to be only on mega-toothed shark teeth suggests something related to size? Any theories or ideas?
  2. This Indonesian Meg seems a bit too perfect in the root. Am I wrong? thanks for any thoughts he’s saying 6.5” but I would obviously ask for a better measurement than what he sent.

    Partial posterior meg tooth?

    Hi everyone! just thought I would ask my friends on TFF if they think this is a partial meg tooth, I think it looks like one but I just want to be sure. Thanks in advance! -@fossilhunter21

    Peace River Trip

    Hello All, After being to busy to make it to the peace river for about a year and a half I was finally able to make it onto the river. Certainly the best trip I have been able to manage thus far. A buddy and I hit the river around 7 and didn't get off till 8 at night. The water seemed to be at a decent enough height, although we were only able to find a 2 decent gravel beds, we managed to pull some pretty good finds. My buddy did much better than I did he got the perfect megs. I think Ive got two mammal predator and a whale tooth here.
  6. Unfortunately, currently only have this picture is the real or restored?

    Keeping Busy

    Haven’t been able to get out to the Peace River in Florida for a variety of reasons. So I dug out a couple of bags of mammoth and mastodon tooth chips to try my hand at wrapping them with wire to make necklaces. I think they came out pretty well. I liked the look enough to re-wrap a Meg tooth I had made a necklace out of two years ago. Here’s how they turned out.

    Hubbell Megalodon

    From the album: Sharks

    Hubbell (juvenile) megalodon, likely from the East Coast. I don't understand the hype surrounding megalodon, but this one was cool enough for the collection. It has good preservation, and the tip is spalled-off from feeding.
  9. Looking to purchase a new Megalodon tooth that is not from the United states. Came across this one. Is this worth it or should I skip it Edit 1: The big and actual only thing i am kind of skeptical about is the right part of the Bourlette. I've purchased and traded with this person for a longer time now and he is trustworthy
  10. The root on the black tooth seems too perfect. Maybe I’m wrong? Thoughts? Indonesia of course. Any red flags on the second tooth? Also Indonesia. thanks for the help
  11. I have no reason to believe these partial teeth are fakes, but would like for reinsurance. I included pictures of fronts and backs of 3 teeth. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Meg find

    Here in South Carolina you can't wade down the creek without having to stop every few minutes to shake these big ones out of your boots! https://www.thestate.com/news/nation-world/national/article249836798.html
  13. 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 .
  14. 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
  15. 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 (at least for me), I found both pretty close to the bigger cliff falls further down the beach, for those of you familiar with the location. While it was freezing, it was my best trip to Matoaka to date, finding two uncommon and great quality fossil teeth. I also found a small but great quality hemi and what I think might be an aquatic mammal tooth (I'll post pictures separately for some opinions in the ID forum), as well as a few Ecphora shells. Matoaka can sometimes be hit or miss as those who frequent the location know all too well. I usually find at least something small there, but these finds show you can really find some great stuff if you look carefully enough.
  16. 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
  17. Hiya everyone just recently got this meg tooth and was looking for any more info. If anyone could help me with more on the tooth itself or if it’s had any repairs would be great. Thanks
  18. 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.

    My Best Megalodon Tooth Yet!

    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 started collecting a few years ago, and my dream has finally come true! Check out the pictures below and the YouTube video if you'd like to see how I found it. Hopefully the first of many great finds this year!

    Indonesian Shark Tooth

    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

    Restoring teeth

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

    A couple of Florida Teeth to ID

    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?
  23. This root seems super restored to me. Like a kid used a sharply to make the vertical lines. Am I right? thanks!!
  24. 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
  25. Hiya I’ve seen this tooth set up for auction and I’m not sure how much it’s gonna go for but u can make an offer on it I’m not sure if u can talk about prices here or dm me what u guys think my top line should be thanks
