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 ;)

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

That "megalodon jaw" looks much more recent than a couple of million years ago, maybe megalodon is still alive or the jaw is faked but that never happens.

Hi,

 

I don’t recognize the normal placement of shark teeth in a jaw.

:heartylaugh: What an odd choice, I'd think the genuine teeth and jaw separated would sell better than this abomination.

After a little research, I found out that I was wrong in my assumption. This has to be the lower jaws to a Land Shark. :thumbsu:
