The only meg over 2 inches I have found in 8 years of collecting(exactly 3 inches).

Here is another one of my favorites. I got this directly from the diver that found it. This site produced less than 100 megs and most were in the 3 to 4" range. This is one of the top 3 megs from the site as far as size, quality, and color. Very proud to own it.

"Fire Site" South Carolina, 5.07"

And I can not leave this one out. This is from a land site in South Carolina. This site was only accessible for a short amount of time and is now under water, so no more megs coming from there. The megs from this location have some of the best colors with blues, whites, and cream colors, often with nice patterns. The one I own is the absolute best meg to come out of the site. This is the largest high quality, unrestored meg that was found there.

Mannnn what dealers/divers do you all get these teeth from, the only places I monitor for collector Megs are places like Ebay and online dealers like MegaTeeth and MB. Texas seems very scarce in Meg dealers, and the one's here mainly specialize in polished Megs. Been to numerous shows and still nothing ;-;

My 4 3/8" find of a lifetime. Also pictured is a -corner- of what would have been an absolute monster specimen. That corner is bigger than any other tooth in my 2000+ found collection except the blond one.

Not much compared to the ones you all show, but It is the best one I ever found. And it is from my own country.

Reviving this thread because I like to see the gems others have :P

Mine isn't great at all, but it's my most complete one from Florida. My two favorites though, are just fragments from Portugal and Australia :)

I thought I'd revive this thread for those who have missed it... :) 

Seeing as this is my only Megalodon, it has got to be my favourite!

Self-found at Beaumaris, Victoria during December/January

My second shark tooth find! It was lying in plain sight on some sand. 

A bit broken at the back, but I'm not complaining! It is rare to find them at Beaumaris - considering donating to a museum.

Image is in the PDF - I had issues uploading photos

Great idea... here are two of my favourite megs, one small and one big. Both personal finds from Antwerp,Belgium. Since these teeth are very rare to find they are the highlighs of my collection. ^^

It isn't a museum grade specimen, by any stretch, but the in-matrix association makes it a nice display:

Hi Chas.,

 

Yeah, my favorite tooth is also from Bakersfield and not perfect but it has nice color in matrix.

Nope. R.A.B.

 

 

If I read this right, I've met him before (if the "B" refers to something diagonal-moving).  He's collected different parts of California for decades.

 

B.H. is also one of those longtime collectors.  I was told he collected one of the largest Sharktooth Hill megs known - 6 1/4 inches.  Bob Ernst found one that big in the 90's, I think.

Carcharocles megalodon tooth

Savannah, Georgia

Measurements: Length One: 5.51", Length Two: 5.36", Width: 4.01"

 

I only have two meg teeth in my collection but this is my favourite. A stunning tooth and the enamel and root could not be much nicer. The tip and serrations are super sharp and just about every serration is in place.
