100 Megalodon Teeth Found Near Charleston South Carolina

We have an epic megalodon tooth hunting spot near Charleston South Carolina. It has produced a plethora of fossils, including teeth from all kinds of extinct sharks, from the tiniest hound shark to the giant white shark Megalodon. We found fossilized remains of other marine creatures such as rays, fish, porpoise, dolphins, dugongs, and whales. There are ice age land mammal fossils here also. We have found horse, tapir, extinct elephants including mammoth, mastodon, and gomphotherium, and giant sloth. Diva called the spot Sloth Party because we found so many sloth teeth at the spot, and the variety of finds sure does make it seem like a party from back in the day. The sheer quantity of megalodon teeth has been what makes this spot so special, at least in the context of this video. When we first stepped foot into this place, I never could have imagined the treasures it contained. Early on though I realized that there were a bunch of meg teeth here so I started keeping count. Over the months of digging the count started climbing and today I hit number one hundred, and that doesn’t even include all the megs Diva found, which you can see on her ‪@AncientAdventures‬ channel. This video is a celebration of the march towards 100 meg teeth - watch as I recover each tooth from the ancient ocean floor, exposed by modern excavation. This is not the end, just a milestone. The count is going to climb higher as we continue to hunt this location of locations, the current leader in the race of my lifetime for the best megalodon tooth hunting spot ever.

You should make your own complete life size jaw mount with all the teeth you've found. That would be cool.

@blackriverfossils 4 месяца назад
i might be able to but space is an issue. every corner in the house is stacked up with rocks, teeth, relics, artifacts, and gear. cool stuff to be sure, but it doesn't leave much room for a life size meg jaw! maybe if I win the lottery 🤔

@@blackriverfossils I was thinking. Maybe have the entire jaw 3D printed in sections. And mount the teeth according to size and position to that. Easy to reassemble wherever. Done right, a collector could easily pay $100K for such a wall mount. Maybe more.

megalodon as a species frequented this region to feed on the whales here. the sharks lost teeth which fell to the ocean floor, got covered by sediment and fossilized. over time the ocean level fluctuated and eroded away all those deposits, redepositing them all in the same strata. that happened a bunch of times over millions of years. during the ice age the ocean level fell again and rivers flowed through this area, eroding out all those deposits and piled them together just like modern rivers do. finally, excavation for a borrow pit exposed the deposits created by one of those ice age river flows and that's why there is so much here. this video just concentrated on the plethora of megalodon teeth, but there were all kinds of ice age animals in those deposits too. there were elephants, horses, tapirs, giant sloths, and more which you can see in my Sloth Party playlist. it was truly a remarkable site. thanks for watching and for the sub!

Thanks for the complement! I appreciate you watching. The teeth might be smaller down where you hunt but I betcha they are in a lot better shape.

@@blackriverfossils oh for sure. I'm in the Gainesville area and do a lot of creek walking. You're not allowed to use any kind of tools or sifter now though because of erosion issues but you can top spot them pretty well. My biggest was a top spot. And the color/condition is crazy. I have a little 2" posterior meg that is almost pristine serrations and shine and some Giant Mako that are still almost razors. Lol. I did find the top corner of a root that had to be a 4-5 inches though. I haven't had the pleasure of diving for any yet.

The visibility is so good we could see the boat from the bottom. every day we were there someone on the boat found good sized meg teeth.

@blackriverfossils
@blackriverfossils Месяц назад
You're in luck - shark teeth are found all over the world. They are very easy to find. Look on beaches, river banks, quarries, canals, etc. For example, in Venice Beach Florida and neighboring Casperson beach, people find shark teeth washing up on the beach all day, every day. most are small, but they are there for the finding. Bigger ones like megalodon teeth are tougher to find - not because they are super rare but because they are easy to see so they get picked up right away. I hope you can find one, but at a minimum I hope you can enjoy the hunt. thanks for watching!

megalodon teeth can be found in Maryland also, hopefully that is a little closer for you. I have a friend up there named Paul Murdoch who guides tours where you could potentially find them. Google Chesapeake Heritage and Paleontology tours for more info. anywhere meg teeth can be found usually has tours to hunt them too, so that is a good option especially with kids when you don't have unlimited time to research and look for spots.

most importantly, you have to explore to find places where the geologic formation is exposed. once you find a spot, since the formation is not uniform, you have to dig around to find where its better within each location for the best chance to find a megalodon tooth.

@blackriverfossils
@blackriverfossils 4 месяца назад
it depends on your definition of rare I suppose. on one hand, meg teeth are not rare. consider that megalodon as a species lived at least 10 million years and they existed globally. one individual would lose hundreds, if not thousands in a lifetime. imagine how many teeth every shark lost cumulatively during that time! on the other hand, nice megalodon teeth are rare. of all the teeth i mentioned before, many did not fossilize at all or were completely annihilated by natural erosion at some point since they were lost. Only a scarce few of all megalodon teeth ever shed survived to be recognizable as shark teeth today. these sharks ate whales and had tremendous bite force so many of the teeth broke during feeding. lots of incomplete teeth fossilized. fewer teeth were complete when they fell from the sharks' mouths. Some of those broke over time due to natural processes like drying out and becoming wet again. the salt in the water is the worst because when a tooth dries, salt crystals form and bust the tooth apart from the inside. so basically everything is against a tooth surviving tens of millions of years in complete condition. those are the ones people want and they ARE rare.
