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 Жыл бұрын
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.

back in ancient times they used to call fossil shark teeth "tongue stones".
