Hi, I’m new and I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I found this on the beach and from the instant I saw it,I hoped it was a meg tooth. I haven’t seen any online covered in this much matrix ? Did I say that right ? 😂 anyway I would love some input or opinions. Thank you !!

Good Day! My name is Carolyn. I am from Newport, Oregon. A few months ago, I purchased my first Megalodon tooth. I purchased it from a fossil shop in Lincoln City. I don't know much about them, but always wanted one and am looking for additional pieces to add to my collection. When purchasing fossils, what are the best things to look for as far as making sure the piece is legitimate and authentic? I feel the shop in LC is reputable, they have been there quite some time and have a huge selection. It is not restored in anyway, it is missing some enamel, and the root is quite intact. The root area is dark while the enamel portion is a medium brown. I'm sorry I have no way to post a picture at this time. Thanks so much. I am excited to join this forum and look forward to learning about this area of collecting! I am an avid fine art collector and fossils are an extension of that! Thanks again!

Hello Everyone, I'm Ryan. My brothers and I have always enjoyed walking the beaches for sharks teeth where we live, but have been getting into fossil hunting a lot more lately, and I seem to always find myself here whenever I'm scouting for new spots, or trying to get an ID on a find, and figured it was about time I signed up. I'm from North Florida but am currently living in Orlando, which puts me closer to many places like the Peace river which I'm stoked to check out. Attached are some finds from the other day in Jacksonville (ignore the necklace lol it was so my brother had a size comparison). If you know of any spots to hunt near the Orlando area let me know! Thank y'all for reading and I'm glad to be here, Have great days!

A lot of it is in the title post. A bit of backstory about myself, I grew up in South Carolina and spent a lot of my younger years shark tooth hunting out of boredom that turned to a fascination. I then had the misfortune of moving to southern Pennsylvania, and have not done anything of the sort for roughly 30 years. Of course I kept some of the better things from the finds as a child, a few of which being larger megalodon teeth, etc. I have two sons that have recently developed a fascination with the teeth and the species This led me to looking on the Internet to see if there’s anywhere in the relative vicinity of my world where they might be able to find something at their own. That led me to the Calvert Cliffs formation. Of course, reality being a working parent and time being expensive this is not something I will be able to do with any sort of regularity and I’m wondering any advice anyone can give on how to go about perhaps landing them in the right area. My assumption is more work to get off the beaten path having less time hunting, would be the ideal as opposed to going places that are picked over with more consistency. I’ve heard things about Plumpoint and taking large, southern walks along bayfront Park area. In essence, I would prefer a hike or a kayak trip if it would let me in the space with more potential, and again, I will go down and fly blind but always like to ask questions as you never know who might point to the right direction

I found this tooth in an old box of fossils from an old school collection. It's unlabeled and unprovinced. The label says 'shark tooth?' Can anybody tell me if this is a British meg tooth? It certainly looks red craggy to me!

Had a great time diving this weekend in Venice FL for shark teeth! Wondering if anyone here has dove the “meg ledge” in SC & if you think it’s worth it? I see a lot of teeth come out of that area pretty worn down.

Good afternoon all, I love looking for sharks teeth, found this guy today. First, I think it is a tooth but might not be. If it is, it’s the largest one I have ever found by far. Found on beach in North Carolina. Any thought on this? thanks a ton!

One of the newer teeth in my Megalodon tooth collection. I have been collecting Megalodon Teeth for some months. now. The tooth is around 4 8/16 inches big and has some restoration on the root. I love the colors and serrations! Show me your South American megalodon teeth!

The seller said it was found by a diver in Beaufort county, South Carolina. The bourlette,the root and the serration were damaged . The seller said it is a great white shark tooth, but I’m not so sure.

Finally broke down and got a few nice Indonesian megs. This is the nicest one, it's blue and 5 3/8" long. Fits in nicely with my small collection of larger megs.

Got out on the bay today. The canoe will need repairs now that it’s been punctured. It’s no longer sea worthy until it gets fixed. Anyways, got out to the Chesapeake today and the low tide wasn’t necessarily all that low. It was unrelenting waves the whole day. There wasn’t much teeth found today as normal but that doesn’t matter. I had a really good day out on the bay despite the large tsunamis. Here’s what all was found: the total round up: The Lower Megalodon is a killer. It’s so perfect there is absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. Always consider finding a Meg to be a trip maker for sure, especially this one. The Megalodon by itself: flipped: I hope you guys enjoyed reading! Always love to come to the bay to see what treasures she holds.

For the past few days I’ve had very little sleep. I thought that I had messed up sleeping way past the low tide time, but in hindsight that Meg was gonna be mines anyways so it really didn’t matter. It’s been a while since I’ve collected some good material, It’s been a bit of a hit and miss so far but I think my luck is finally starting to turn over. I’ve been going to this Paleocene spot a lot lately so I figure it would be nice to change thing up a bit. Anyways, from the title you guys can probably infer that I’ve found my first Meg of 2021 which I’m pretty happy about because I found none last year. Anyways, I also found a posterior mako, some nice snaggles, a thresher, croc tooth, puffer fish mouth plate, a retroflexis mako tooth, my largest bull shark tooth to date, and a crab carapace to top it all off. Probably one of my most productive days on this small stretch of beach, I’m really looking forward to April 17 when I can go past the ropes (on a guided trip I don’t do trespassing) here’s the spoils from yesterday: Here’s all the stuff from this beach. Without my large screen I’d get maybe a quarter of this.some of the best teeth I got from this small beach. Biggest tooth by far is that gigantic bull shark.pictures of the mini megalodon. Yes, I know it looks like a bull shark tooth but the root is thicker than the bull sharks I found today and it has a very worn bourlette on it. But I assure you it’s a Meg (unless it isn’t and I’m told otherwise) good trip all around! Can’t wait to come back here soon.

Another Indonesian meg
patrickhudson posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
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
