fossilselachian Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It must have been a great day for the river viz when these two posterior megs were collected from a northern Georgia river. I obtained them from the diver just after they were collected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Good Lord, The root is bigger than the blade!!! Pretty neat teeth. I have a few tiny megs like that. Its almost hard to call them megs, since they are so small.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixflood Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yes, there are fewer of them in the mouth of a shark then the 4"+ teeth we always drool over. Did I mention I love posterior teeth. I love the big ones too though The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the big ones too though here are my 2 posteriors The darker one was the first meg I found that was even close to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 One of the few teeth where the root is larger than the tooth. I think they're cool! Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchhunter Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Nice posteriors. The one on the right almost likes a Galeocerdo Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serack Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nice posteriors.The one on the right almost likes a Galeocerdo Jeroen Yes it is reminiscent of a Galeocerdo, especially since it is much thinner than my other posterior, but the main reason why is because it is chipped at the edge, making it look more hooked than it is. But it doesn't take too close of a look to rule that out, since it has such a well defined bourrelet, and the serations run all the way to the tip. Interestingly, the serrations are incredibly defined, and almost conal in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Northern Georgia????That's Blue Ridge Mountains/piedmont territory, except in the extreme West where it's Paleozoic. Never heard of shark teeth from North of the Fall Line (around Macon). Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a few collectors having 6 3/4" to 7+" megalodon, a friend and I started wondering who has the smallest megalodon - presumably a posterior from a young-baby individual. He said he had one around 3/4" wide. I have one from Scotts Valley (Late Miocene, Lower Santa Margarita Formation) at 5/8". Another friend claimed he had one slightly smaller than that.

Every time I travel from SC into GA along I-95, I tend to think I'm entering "northern" GA. Please pardon my gross misstatement. Thanks for the correction.
