With the addition of Italy, I'm calling my exotic Megs set complete! There are some really rare ones like Japan and Germany missing, so while I'll keep an eye out for localities I don't yet have, this set is essentially complete after a year of acquiring teeth from around the world and I'm very happy with it! There were some here that were acquired from members, and others yet that members found for me. I thank everyone who contributed in one way or another!

Isopoda... An incredibly diverse extant order, dating back no less than 270 million years, to the Permian. The humble pill bug, the common woodlouse, or the playful roly poly. They all belong to this stunning group of creatures, ranging from terrestrial to aquatic life. Just take a gander at some of these beauties: Pseudarmadillo assoi Pseudolaureola atlantica Calmanesia sp. Amazing, aren't they! 270 million years you say? There's got to be something to them, hasn't there? I'm sure there is, but I like to think that the universe just loves them, as I do! Now, one can't mention isopods without touching on trilobites. Ah, trilobites, known by many, loved by all. Isopod, right? Welllllll... No. Trilobites are unfortunately completely extinct, whereas, these impersonators, isopods, cramped their style, and outlived them... How cool is that! This is the end of my post, I guess! There's no real overarching message, it's... Just an appreciation post for Isopoda... Goodnight all, have a good one!

Hello everyone, I'd like to share my extreme budget collection of exotic megs/shark teeth so far, I've have been collecting shark teeth and other for a little over a year and a half now on an extremely tight budget and have been surprised by what I was able to get a hold of so far. Condition doesn't bother me hence the budget but I have been able to find some megs from from interesting locations over the short period of time I've been collecting with a little bit of luck. Locations include Puerto Rico, Cuba, Japan, Hawaii, Morocco, Mexico, Peru, and The Phillipines. Anyone else out there with extreme budget rare finds especially shark teeth (or from generally exotic locations), feel free to share and I'd love to see! In order of pictures: 1) Two megs and a hemi from Isabella, Puerto Rico 2) meg from Hawaii (Restored) 3) great white from Japan 4) meg from Morocco 5) meg from Cuba (unfortunately stuck on a wood plate but still a lovely display piece) 6) meg from the Phillipines 7) cubutensis from Peru 8) 2 Makos from Mexico 9 & 10) Heavily and horribly restored 5.9 inch Chilean meg (funny story with this one had an even worse restoration on it with made it look no different from a replica, was suspicious and bought it and when attempting a horrible derestoration process and a few slight touch ups of my own a large chilean meg was hiding under the mess, still needs a tad bit of work but I still love I was able to snag a large one cheap in this day and age ) @WhodamanHD Here we go uploaded !

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any Megalodon teeth from exotic locations they would be willing to let go of for trade. I'm also interested in other species of shark teeth/fossils from rare locations. Regards, Indominus Rex.
