In Portugal it's very rare find Megalodon teeth.

 

Unfortunately the size and the state of conservation are not very good.

Well, i'd say that's pretty impressive!

Thanks. I’ll post a few more in the next few days. A lot of good things from the Tucson gem show

Here is a Carcharocles auriculatus I bought in the early 90's.  It's from the mid-late Eocene of Vlierzele, Belgium.  What's unusual about it is that it is rather large for the species from that site and teeth that large tend to stay in local collections. 

 

This tooth was in the collection of an American collector, Sparky Johnson, well-known in some circles in the 80's and before.  I never met him.  He passed away sometime around 1990 and his collection was sold with collector, George Lee buying some of his shark teeth.  George wasn't much of a shark tooth collector (he was heavy into Badlands and tar pit mammals) so he was looking to resell.  He showed me a Parotodus from the Sharktooth Hill Bonebed, a rather large (2-inch plus) great white from Milnerton, South Africa, some near-complete Carcharocles angustidens from New Zealand, and this C. auriculatus.  Normally, I would have tried to make a deal for the Parotodus because I'm a Sharktooth Hill kind of guy but I recognized the auriculatus as the "weird tooth" in the group.  It was bigger than any I'd ever seen for sale or been offered in trade.  If you look at the labial face, you see marks and even depressions where mollusks or other drilling invertebrate had attached and/or started to drill into it.  I ended up having enough money to buy this tooth and the Milnerton great white because I hadn't seen one from there before.

Yeah, the Parotodus would've been the smarter choice in terms of money value but that auriculatus was the weirdest tooth in the lot and I've always liked weird when looking at teeth.

Lightning strike Sand Tiger from Purse St Park a couple of days ago. Pity that the root is damaged. The horrible picture doesn't do this justice.

It would help if You use a solid colored background. The color and pattern You are using distracts from the fossil.

Nice tooth(s).
