Check out this Megalodon tooth!

[flounderer]

We went out looking for sharks teeth Saturday and this guy on the boat surfaces with a 6.75 inch Megalodon tooth! It is one of the largest ones I've seen come off the site. He came up with about a dozen in all. Needless to say everyone was a little jealous.

Dive conditions were nice. 1-2 ft seas, 75F on the bottom, and 50-60 ft vis, the best I've seen it around the fossil ledge area.

Thanks for posting the pics.

Unfortunately I didn't find the monster tooth. I've found my fair share but the biggest tooth I've found is 5".

There are a few ledges in and around the Cape Fear and Onslow Bay NC region that are producing some good teeth. It's far offshore and in 90-100+ ft of water so the bottom time is limited but still a good time. I really want to try the Cooper River where you can spend a bit more time on the bottom and a few minutes on the boat ride out.

What a tooth? Where is the Cooper River area? Is there a dive shop to contact in that area?
