Digging a Pile of Megalodon Teeth

  • We never know what we are going to find when we go digging for megalodon teeth. Sometimes we come home with nothing. Sometimes we only find broken stuff. But on rare occasions, we have a day like today when we are finding big shark teeth left and right and they are all in decent shape. The layer where we find megs is not consistent because everything was shuffled around and deposited by flowing water. Just a few feet can make all the difference between a nothing day and a bag filler. We were on a hot layer band today and it was stuffed with goodies. The megalodon teeth were almost in a pile! I'll let the video do the talking today because it was a GREAT day digging.

      you can find them in a creek called Greensmill Run in Greenville. You can also find them in the spoil piles in front of the Aurora Fossil Museum brought in from the PCS Phosphate mine in Aurora. There are beaches also, but I'm not sure exactly which ones. Many of the rivers in the east also have fossils but you'll need to scuba dive there. I'm sure there are countless other places also, NC is rich with fossil history. Best of luck to you!

    • @blackriverfossils
      @blackriverfossils  Рік тому +1

      megalodon teeth are usually much larger, so there is some size overlap but the the most noticeable feature that differentiates them for me is the much larger bourlette enamel between the root and blade on the display side of megalodon teeth. also called a chevron, its thick and V shaped on megs and barely there on great whites.

    • @blackriverfossils
      @blackriverfossils  7 днів тому

      back in ancient times they used to call fossil shark teeth "tongue stones". They didn't know what they were but they resembled tongues made of rock. it wasn't until the 1600s that someone noticed how similar shark teeth were to those, but they didn't know anything about fossilization. Its very interesting how knowledge is gained over time!
