Hanzo Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I found these teeth on a North Carolina beach about 25 years ago and was always curious what type they may be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Those would all be Carcharocles megalodon (aka "megs"). As in the silly movie that you can now watch at the theaters. As if this shark wasn't large enough and impressive enough, Hollywood has to come up with on on steroids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely at the small print on the movie poster, it is sponsored by Gold's Gym. *Disclaimer- neither Gold's Gym or it's affiliates have anything to do with this movie and any mention of parties envolved were purely used for comical purposes. It was just a joke people, relax! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrophyseter Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I agree, those teeth are nothing less than the legendary Carcharocles megalodon. Great finds! If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I’ve spent many days while stationed at Camp Lejeune combing the beaches for teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
