Aims1234 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hello, I apologise but i am quite new to fossils. I found this today at Walton-on-the-Naze in England, in the sand below the cliffs, and i wondered if anybody could help me confirm whether it is a megalodon tooth? It seems very different to the ones i have seen online, so i am not sure - but i understand teeth come in all shapes and sizes. I will be very happy if it is, especially because it was still quite high tide when i went and i had to wade through water to get to the beach (getting my feet soaked in freezing sea water in the process! ). Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 In my opinion I think that Yes it is a meg. Judging from size and shape. It is a bit worn though. Nice find, Congratulations! 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrophyseter Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Fairly worn one, but yes, I agree that it is a meg! (I've never seen an English megalodon tooth outside a museum before, this is interesting) If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

jcbshark Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I"m in the Meg camp as well, congrats on a super rare find. Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connah Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 +1 for UK Meg. Most finds in the UK are of this quality, highly eroded with a very greasy look. Congrats as they are pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
