Ryanisreallame Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I found this tooth in the Potomac River in Westmoreland county, Virginia. It's the only one like it I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Looks like a posterior Chub to me if those are indeed cusps up near the root Nice find! Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wibrown Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Not technically a Megalodon. A Carcharocles chubutensis would be more correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I agree with Carcharocles chubutensis, Ryanisreallame. This shark was the immediate predecessor to Carcharocles megalodon.
