Megalodon shark teeth found in South Carolina and North Carolina are prized by fossil hunters and collectors for their size and preservation. These teeth belong to the extinct Megalodon shark, which lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.
South Carolina and North Carolina are known for their rich fossil deposits, including those of Megalodon teeth. The teeth are often found in sedimentary deposits along the coast, particularly in areas where ancient marine environments once thrived. Fossil hunters scour beaches, rivers, and creeks in search of these prehistoric treasures, which can range in size from a few inches to over 7 inches in length.
The teeth of Megalodon are characterized by their large size, triangular shape, and serrated edges, which were used for grasping and cutting prey. These teeth are often well-preserved, thanks to the fossilization process that occurred over millions of years.
