FossilDudeCO Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I usually don't go for impulse buys, but I saw these cute little megs from 2 different sellers and figured $20 each wasn't bad. Each one measures just over 3" (7.8cm) on their longest sides. I believe the darker one may be a Chubutensis but both were listed as Megalodon (of course!) I am the exact opposite of a shark tooth expert, I wouldn't know what it was if it bit me. But I am putting together a display for World Oceans day in the spring and figured this was a GREAT chance to expand my knowledge. Sorry for the dog hair, I need to vacuum..... Don't judge! Thanks as always, -Blake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Blake, do you have any locality info about the teeth? Honestly, they both could be megs, just different tooth positions. But the one on the left coulb be chubutensis. It does show a small "almost" cusp and is rather wide. But either or both of those traits does not mean chub.

Darktooth Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 $20 each ?! I think you got yourself a pretty good deal. They are in decent shape, with minimal damage. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in decent shape, with minimal damage. Yes I thought the prices were great! I put bids on them when they each had like 3 days left and didn't expect to win 1 let alone both! The kids will have a chance to handle these teeth, which I think is the biggest plus side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
