drobare Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I thought I would ask the experts for a little validation. :-) I found this nubby little tooth, about the size of a quarter, on the Chesapeake Bay. It isn't apparent from the picture but it is serrated. I will try to get a better photo tonight in better light.. I know the photo is bad. ( It is next to a couple of seven gills and a tip of a Meg that certainly would have been nice to have found complete.. ) I'm thinking a very tiny Meg tooth, because it is certainly not a hemipristis. I just didn't think Meg's could be that small. Thanks for any help.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Looks like some Megalodon posterior teeth I've seen posted here. And keep in mind, they had to be born and grow up. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

sixgill pete Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I would say without a doubt a posterior tooth from a small megalodon. I have one in my collection that is smaller than Roosevelt's head on a dime. Also that looks like a very nice cow shark upper right next to the baby meg.

digit Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yup. +1 for posterior meg. Would look great on display next to one of the big hulking megs. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That would be cool to see. Do you think you could dig that one up and post a photo? Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
