BellamyBlake Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi everyone, I have here a 5.64" Megalodon tooth that I purchased. I don't have any reason to believe it's fake, but I got a decent deal on it and just want to make sure it's genuine. It was found off the coast of North Carolina.

snolly50 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Nothing fake or altered (except by Nature), it's a nice, big, ocean-collected tooth. The taupe colored enamel and the rust colored spots are typical of several NC coast teeth i have seen. 3 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It looks typical of those that are recovered by scuba diving in the ocean. It has heavy wear and has bore holes. It appears to have been cleaned and consolidated/coated. Definitely a BIG BOY. Congrats. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

RickNC Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Don't think anybody would fake one like this. Looks like your typical offshore NC tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
