North Carolina Megalodon 4.79"

North Carolina Megalodon 4.79"Good quality Megalodon tooth recovered from North Carolina The stand shown in the photograph is included. Why so many Megalodon teeth come from offshore North Carolina The coast of North Carolina is one of the most famous Megalodon tooth localities in the world. Offshore of the modern beaches lies a broad continental shelf cut by ancient river channels and fossil rich formations such as the Pungo River and Yorktown formations. These layers were laid

this species provides critical insight into how some of the largest predators in Earth’s history developed

and the tip is worn

and each one of those teeth had a chance to become a fossil

it had a streamlined body and broader teeth than today’s makos

and the serrations on a good Peruvian tooth are sharp and intact all the way up — exactly what you want in a display-grade specimen

the teeth themselves hold a lot of information:

land access

made by Trexler and later studied by paleontologist Jack Horner

claws from any dinosaur

Elosuchus was built for life in the water

it is unique in its intermediate features

Its relative rarity in the fossil record is consistent with the ecological suppression of mesopredators in systems dominated by large apex predators
