TomWhite Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Had a quick trip down to my local beach after work. We have had massive storms along with large spring tides so the red crag cliffs have taken a battering. Dodging heavy rain, thunder and lightning. Found nothing of major significance for an hour and was getting soaked through so decided to head back to the car with my tail between my legs. Walking along and this was just lying on the shingle! 95mm long just sitting there!!! My first complete Meg. Needless to say I was rather happy! Thanks for reading! 17

Yes, I've seen some worn pieces that retained just enough form and regular hints of serrations to identify them as megalodon. Your tooth is an incredible find. 1

CousinLarry Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Nice! Makes me wonder if there's a list of all locations Meg teeth have been found? Because I hear about them all over the place! Such different material than what I find megs in Florida. Good find
thelivingdead531 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Wow!! Tom, that is a beautiful tooth! I am incredibly jealous, but so happy for you! A great find. I’m missing England so much!
