Megalodon Tooth With Two Tips And A Nice Mastodon (Gomphotherium?) Tooth

[megateeth]

I have trouble telling Mastodon from Gomph teeth sometimes. Either way I found some nice teeth today. One I thought was chipped but then even underwater I could see it had two tips. Two of the other Meg teeth were also killers and the largest Makos were 2.88" and 2.85". All in all a good dive

[DeloiVarden]

Super sweet and i think gomph!

[sixgill pete]

again great finds. that twin tipped meg is sweet!!

[obsessed1]

Great day in the water!! I have never found a twin tipped tooth. To find a meg with twin tips would be the best ever.

You have the underwater sites pegged Mega, Us landlubbers are just so jealous... Picking up teeth like that all in one hunting day is remarkable.... Keep them coming too. Thanks for sharing with us... Jeff

I'd be happy with even one of those finds, awesome haul!!!

[RickNC]

Awesome. Love that patho.

[Sharkbyte]

Very nice and I agree with DelioVarden in saying that the tooth in question is a Gomphotherium.

That Gomp tooth is awesome. I'd love to see a pic of it all cleaned up. Is it missing the root? Each of the "cones" look so tall.

I believe the root had not formed yet. The tooth was never used whiich is why there was no wearing.

There are not enough accolades and there are not enough teeth for the Meg-Meister :bow:

Always a treat... Congratulations Bill

[megateeth]

Thanks Everyone. The megalodon tooth really made my day.

[Taffie]

Wow, megateeth, what a wonderful day fossil hunting! Congratulations.

[MikeD]

Never seen a double tip. Cool stuff as always!

[PrehistoricFlorida]

Great teeth as usual. The gomph tooth is great, but there's nothing better than a meg tooth with TWO perfect tips.

[MikeDOTB]

Wow, once again great finds. The Gomph tooth is awesome, and the patho meg is always a good find! I love patho teeth when they are still complete with just some abnormalities.

[gwbh]

Oh yea. I am a wimp.

Oh no wimpery implied, i just know that water is coooooold right now

I just had about 2-3" yesterday. It should get better by the end of the week.
