Max-fossils Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hi all, Today, I got a special present: my biggest meg tooth so far! And my second too (I'm kinda behind with them). With very nice serrations, this one is definitely one of the highest quality fossil shark teeth I have now. I think it's a "jet black" one. Oh, and the measurements are (longest tip to root distance): 8.3 cm (which is 3.3 inches). Not the biggest tooth, but still a nice one. Just wanted to share this beauty with you all Best regards, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Thanks so much everyone! @caldigger no Doren, we bought it during the Fossil Fair of Ede 2017. @Doctor Mud that sure is true! @joshuajbelanger don't think so, if I remember well, I think the seller said it was found off the coast of North Carolina.
