I own a few Megalodon teeth. The biggest one that I have is 5.5 inches long. The two smaller ones are about 3.5 inches long. This place looks incredible with all of the fossilized things of the past.

That largest one is a very respectable size for a megalodon tooth! This is definitely a place I’d recommend fossil and mineral lovers to attend at least once.

Hi, good video! I had a question regarding one of the fossils seen in de video. at 02:41 you can see many associated (?) teeth in different patches of matrix (one with vertebrae). At first I thought they could be from Cretoxyrhina but the lateral cusplets make me reconsider this idea (I'm aware that older species of Cretoxyrhina have lateral cusplets, but I can't be sure as some of the teeth have a different morphologies than those I could see in Cretoxyrhina). You recall which species name it was given in the expo?

Thank you! Those teeth in question are of Otodus obliquus and were recovered in the phosphate mines around Khouribga, Morocco. Hope this helps!

Hello. Are some of the fossils and skeletons copies from other museums?

Hello, I believe you are correct! There are some casts that were at the show and featured in this video
