4.00 inch New Caldonia Scrimshaw Megalodon tooth - Really beautiful artistry!
Megatooth Collector posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Megalodon Collection
I just recently purchased my first New Caldonia Meg tooth, and I also really wanted one with scrimshaw art. As an avid saltwater fisherman in the Gulf Coast of Texas, mahi mahi (aka. Dolphin) are one of our top offshore gamefish. When I saw this amazing scrimshaw with a colorful mahi mahi, I just had to get it! -

This is an exceptional quality Megalodon tooth from Cuban. Minus the feeding damage to the tip, this tooth is perfect and in outstanding 100% natural condition from a location that produces many damaged teeth from digging machinery. A real beauty! -

4.98 inch New Caledonia / Deep South Pacific Megalodon tooth
Megatooth Collector posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Megalodon Collection
This is a pretty rare condition for a New Caledonia tooth period, much less one that is just shy of 5 inches. This tooth has intact enamel and even very faint serrations. Anyone who is familiar with this location knows that most Megs from here are very worn down and usually only marketable as polished teeth. This is a rare exception. This 4.98 inch Megalodon tooth is from the South Pacific Ocean about 800 miles east of Australia near the small island of New Caledonia. Teeth from this location were found on the ocean floor at dredged depths of about 1000 feet. The permits that allowed dredging of this area expired in the early 2000's, so no new teeth from this site there after. Truly a remarkable fossil treasure from deep depths of the ocean floor.-

5.9 inch Megalodon tooth from Isabela, Puerto Rico with matrix and manuscript notation
Megatooth Collector posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Megalodon Collection
This is a rather interesting 5.9 inch Megalodon tooth with the matrix it was discovered with from a rare location and with a likely documented discovery. Several Megalodon teeth were discovered in Isabela, Puerto Rico in a karst limestone deposit being excavated from the Isabela Municipal Landfill site, by Jose A. Lopez on February 6-7 , 1992. The rock layer in which the teeth were found is the upper Aymamon Limestone Formation referred to as the “Taz”. A total of eight Megalodon teeth were found at this location, with three sold into private collections (likely including this tooth), four retained by Mr. Lopez, and one is now owned and displayed by the Michigan State University (MSU) Museum. This particular 5.9 inch Megalodon tooth was originally purchased by Peter Calero in February 1992 from his cousin who was a construction worker at the site, and then sold to another collector in 2011. I recently aquired the tooth from its last owner. There is also manuscript in the literature that discussed this discovery entitled New Record of the Lamnid Shark Carcharodon megalodon from the Middle Miocene of Puerto Rico, Carribean Journal of Science, Vol 39, No.2, 223-227, 2003. I actually contacted the primary author Dr. Angel Nieves-Rivera via email and he actually friended me on Facebook. Dr. Nieves-Rivera said that though he never saw the teeth that were sold into private collections, this tooth looks very much like the others that he did examine and discussed in the paper "without a doubt". Based on the pretty strong provenance, I believe this is one of the teeth mentioned in the article which is pretty cool.© ©
