Fossil-Hound Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Some people go their entire life looking for Megs and don't find them this good. The serrations are present, there are no dings, the color is beautiful, and the root intact. This is a very good tooth. Congratulations! 1 Do or do not.

It is such a cool feeling knowing you're picking up a tooth of a giant prehistoric apex predator, where it was dropped millions of years ago.
