I'm planning a trip to NC now with my gf. Really looking forward to getting my hands dirty and find some teeth! Your video was a huge help. I have much more confidence in what I'm looking for. Thanks!

You did a great job on your video. I loved the map,especially the little swimming sharks, Lol! It was a great demo. I hunt in SC, and people have done some terrible for damage to some of the creeks, streams. Please pass along the very great importance of dumping the gravel BACK into the streams, not on the banks. Many creatures depend on the gravel to live in, hide in. Plus the gravel helps stop some of the bottom erosion, AND catches more teeth that wash down during the storms. I have hunted for four years now and have literally seen several streams that have been totally decimated by fossil hunters who do not care. Maybe you could do another video for tooth ID, and pass along the info of being environmentally conscious? Love your vids!

The megalodon of south Carolina and north Carolina is one of three large megalodon populations known collectively as the megalodon of North America.The other two large populations are South America and north Africa. The average female shark in South America is 15 meters long. Megalodon teeth in north Africa are said to be 6 inches long, with a maximum size of 7.49 inches. Probably the largest megalodon population.

Loved the explanation. Do you ever use a geological map to find the creeks and low areas around the miocene formations?

Sometimes I do! Most of the time I use google maps and that usually works if you are in the right area geologically.

Thanks for the information! I'm going to try to sift some of the local creeks to see if there were any teeth in this area. By the looks of your map, we might be within range of the original ocean-covered area! Thanks for an informative video!

Because Central America was a shallow area, one of the nursery areas of megarodon sharks, female sharks came here to give birth, so small teeth found a lot. The very large teeth of 5 to 7 inches come from adult female sharks.14 to 17 meters female megalodon sharks are common nearby.

I've always wanted to hunt for megalodon teeth. Have you ever gone to the various quarries in the area? I've heard those are great places to find fossils, but it's very hard to do it.

I have not actually, but that is an excellent idea. A lot of them are closed to collecting, but some are still open and lots of shark teeth and fossils still come out of them!

In addition, the small shark tooth replacement cycle is very frequent, so many small teeth. The reason big teeth are rare is that adult sharks take much longer to change their teeth. Small sharks take two weeks to change their teeth.It can take up to six months for adult sharks to change their teeth, giving the illusion that teeth over six inches are rare.

Because of this, the giant female megalodon, which measures 18 to 21 meters in length and weighs 60 to 100 tons, also roamed the nearby waters.

This map is actually a little inaccurate due to the fact the mid part of the country was all under water all the way to the Great Lakes location the mountain ridges of course was out of the water for the Eastern seaboard but that part of the map you're referring to is correct but the mid part is not that was all under water as well. Mississippi and Louisiana and the state of Alabama or at least the western part of Alabama was all under water all the way up to the Great Lakes region.
