Maxalodon Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi! I’m an amateur fossil hunter from the southern coast of GA. While on a dredged Island, I encountered a fragment of something. I believe this could be a carchorodon megalodon tooth fragment because of it’s smooth “enamel”, sandy texture, and thinkness. Dozens of megalodon teeth have been found in this area. Thoughts? This would help a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 It’s hard to tell from a small fragment, but it looks like a piece of bone. It could belong to one of the many ancient mammal species that lived in the area during the tertiary.
