megateeth Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 UNREAL!!!!! KILLER finds. Very nice finds. Ya gotta love the Paratodus. Here are my jumbo mako teeth. All personal finds except the bottom tooth. The top row runs from 2.9" to 2.99" and all the rest are 3" to 3.28". Same pic with different lighting. Largest tooth. What they typically look like when I find them. It has a bit of cleaning to show the hidden color beneath the mineral coating. If I ever get my boat back out of the shop I hope to find another monster mako this year. Megateeth Fossils - Megalodon Teeth, Other Shark Teeth and Info about Megalodon shark tooth collecting.

marksfossils Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I've seen 3 unrepaired, 3" false Makos on eBay in the last 3 years. There are more 3" Great Whites available. Hey Guy, sorry to be late on this one but here is my 3.125" Beni that I found a while back. Just a little tip rounding or it would have been larger.

fossilselachian Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 WOW! Very interesting. I hope he gets it! I'm almost positive I've seen these two teeth and actually examined the larger specimen - it's incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsharky Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 ok, 2 tanks, 4 teeth: small bull, medium great white, medium mako and HUGE lower mako. 3.25 on one slant and 3&1/l6 on the other!!! If it had not been for the mako, it would have been another bad week. Miocene/Eocene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THobern Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Looks like who ever won this one got a bargain. I had expected that one to go for about half the price. Very nice tooth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yeah, in the auction photos there was nothing to show the size. Any tooth over 3 inches is rare - over 3 1/4 is a whole other level of rarity. With Ebay descriptions, especially of shark teeth, famous for exaggeration and euphemism, I would've expected a more cautious winning bid (once I saw a guy at the Tampa show carrying his own pair of calipers as a buying aid). Perhaps a couple of the bidders had seen the tooth up close already. I had expected that one to go for about half the price. Very nice tooth though.

Megalodon1 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 I thought I would update my club membership with this ever so elusive "LOWER" Mako. As y'all know lower teeth in general are far rarer than upper teeth. This Massive tooth is all natural, and I am its' proud new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
