cowsharks Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yes ,thats the problem ,you can find many megalodons ,but the most are cut trough the middle Are they cut by machines in a mining process? The edge on your last picture shows a very straight cut, not done by the same shark. Daryl S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharklover Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Looks similar to the mining damage seen on Cuban Megs. Yes ,they saw big blocks for building ,and therefore mostly you see the teeth when they hit them And yes ,what you see on that tooth is where the saw hit it.
