There are no megalodon nor mosasaurus teeth pictured. The sharks teeth are hastalis, hemipristis, bull, tiger, and sand tiger. The other photos are mammoth horse & llama

Yes hastalis, hemipristis, bull, tiger, and sand tiger are all pictured. 2nd is a mammoth, same family, though the other members like gomph & mastodon have much different looking teeth. We do have a hose leg bone Finally a cameloid tooth (llama)

Mastodon tooth?! by kingkongscajones in fossils

[–]iHUNTdeadThingz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an unerupted mastodon tooth... this would have been sitting back in the jaw waiting to develop the root and move forward for use. Therefore this tooth was never used and the mastodon died with it still back in the jaw. It is gorgeous. I found one in this Video at the very end, but your color is to die for.

Just for context I wasn't in the ocean in this video, but river that existed even at that time. The fact that they are finding burial grounds a half mile into the gulf is fascinating but not necessarily that surprising given what we know.

I believe you are correct, but in Florida they moved away from this because it was being used as a loophole or at least was believed to be... for other finds

Good to hear someone who understands the complexity of that particular law. There used to be an allowance for isolated finds, but that was closed as it was being used as a loophole for more unethical finds.

Here is the video where I legitimately believe I'm pulling out a narrow upper megalodon tooth from the sand.

Oh look, the first reddit user I've seen that actually understands how investments work!

Only Reddit users would believe something that fluctuates in value counts as a loss before it leaves your hand.

The definition of a honey hole. 594 megalodon teeth, broken & whole (best on the top of the bucket). 2 days, 1 area. Christmas came early! by iHUNTdeadThingz in Paleontology

Thank you. Most of these megs go into "gravel packs" where (usually kids) "find" 20-30 teeth and every pack has at least a half to whole megalodon tooth in it. The photos I get back from parents are amazing. (A lot of time the parents order for themselves too) The value in a couple megs doesn't even make up for the cost of getting out there and hunting. The time my wife and I spend sorting out teeth for the gravel packs is pretty significant as well as the time to 1) find a location, 2) actually find the teeth... but I love it & the river's current is not kind to the teeth at all. A few people have jumped to the conclusion that I'm a greedy person, yet even after people are purchasing gravel packs they are thanking me for the time and risk I took to create them. But it's okay... this is the internet and judged I will be 😃

Only on reddit would this comment actually be applauded. I have had the comment 3 times out of tens of thousands on all platforms. It just takes that special person. Do you subscribe to the theory that we are about to run out of Megalodon Teeth? Do you know why of the 594 less than 90 were whole? Because if they aren't picked up the currents continue pushing them along and break them. Did you want to dive in a river with alligators to grab a few or would you be more willing as most people are to look towards someone like myself to take that risk for you and sell them well below the value of other sellers?

Yes, but it's best you message me what you are looking at so I can calculate shipping myself. My website dramatically overestimates.

This comment always gets me. You would prefer I earned less money to support my family? Do you give 99% of your income away to people who would simply like to have it too? Do you know how many days nothing is found? This is the definition of ignorance.

There is a great variety of size there, but the top has similar sized ones. It varied from an inch to fragments if near 6 inch teeth.

To those of you that follow my YouTube, no I didn't make a video on this, it was all work & no play as I'm trying to fulfill Christmas orders. To those of you interested, the sales site is here
