Rock Hound Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I always hear that they are very rare; but every year dealers set up at numerous fossil shows in the United States, with huge boxes full of giant Meg Teeth. Regardless, they sure aren't cheap!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 No large megs are not cheap. In my area, megalodons are relatively common, but teeth over 6 inches are not. However they can be found with persistance. If you know where to find them. 3 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frightmares Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 If you look to buy one and have a high budget, you'll find them. However, to find one yourself, it is very rare, especially to find one in decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadrosauridae Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Also keep in mind that in those large shows you have many people selling partial or complete fakes of everything. Just because they have a lot, doesnt mean they are real. 1 "There is no shortage of fossils.

Praefectus Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 6 inchers are rare (both at fossil sites and for sale) - that's why it is always a celebration when they are found. However, they are not impossible to find. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psittacosaur9 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 They're very rare. Expect to either spend a lot of time searching for one in the field, and possibly never finding one, or spending quite a bit of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatFossilBoy Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 From Indonesia they are rather uncommon than rare. Expensive though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
