Hubbell Tooth- Unique Find

[MegalodonCharters]

Lori Smith had a unique find off the Hammerhead Dive boat the other day... a Hubbell tooth!

The Hubbell Tooth was identified by Dr. Gordon Hubbell as a subspecies of Megalodon Shark. These teeth are approximated 2-2.5" and have a "U" shaped notch on the basel root margin giving the root a "Mickey Mouse" shape set of root ears.
