ev_barr2 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Found a couple interesting pieces today in North Carolina at Greens Mill Run. I'm thinking juvenile megalodon for the tooth but could be wrong, and not sure what the other piece is. Maybe some type of shell? Any ideas?

Praefectus Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The tooth is a Megalodon. There is nothing to indicate this is a juvenile tooth. It could come from the back of the jaw where the teeth are smaller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev_barr2 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Here are a couple more pics of the other piece, anyone able to identify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If it was found in Peace River Florida... Turtle or giant Tortoise shell. We have tons of it in lots of variations... Posterior teeth are not necessarily small. Depends on size of the shark! They are smaller relative to the other sized teeth in the same jaw. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev_barr2 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Would love to hunt Peace River, though this piece was found in North Carolina! Turtle would be awesome! Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @ev_barr2 Yes the black fossil is a piece of turtle shell. A very common find at GMR and many other places in North Carolina. As far as the tooth. Could you provide some good pics, more close up of both sides. Not in your hand please, but laying flat. 2 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
