How I Find GIANT MEGALODON Shark Teeth and Other Fossils!!

- In this video, I explain how I find fossilized shark teeth in the creeks and rivers of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
Basically there were a ton of sharks (including the Megalodon) who swam up and down the east coast and the sharks lost their teeth while feeding on whales and dolphins where they swam. The oceans reached a lot further inland millions of years ago compared to today. Over millions of years, the oceans receded and essentially dried up. As a result, the shark teeth were left, and have fossilized over millions of years. Now, I am able to go into rivers and creeks in these dried up areas and find the remains of tons of sharks and sea creatures. If you have any questions please leave them for me below and I will do my best to answer them! Thanks for watching and check out the links below!

Thanks for watching!
Hey great video! I just moved to Eastern NC. Are there any signs that a river would not have any teeth or signs that would tell you to look somewhere else? Thanks
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!
Great presentation! Very helpful for beginners too. Thank you for posting.
Thank you!!
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.
@@MrMakoMeCrazy Nice, thanks for the tip! I've found a few good places in lowcountry Sc but I need to find a more secluded area to find better stuff. Good luck and happy hunting.
Excellent. Thanks for the education.
Man I recently made a sifter, got a nice yak and I'm ready to get into this more this summer... I grew up in FL so love any water hobby.. I'd love to meet up sometime..
have you ever went inland from myrtle beach? Im going to be there in october and would rather go inland from the beach then to have to drive two hours south
Can you please tell me what creek this is in in NC. I live near top sail NC
Well done. Lots of great info for explorers.
Awesome video!
Missed a blade of a mako at 7:09
I sore that
Thanks Great information will help next time I'm down south.
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.
I’ve found pretty big Meg teeth at Holden and myrtle beach
Great Video!
Was wondering though, can I find teeth west of Charlotte NC?
Thank you! No, you cannot find teeth west of Charlotte, NC. You need to be in the eastern portions of the states (east coast).
How far east would I need to go?
Very nice fines, we also find a lot of shark teeth here in Virginia in the inland rivers thanks for the great video
Been wanting to head up there some time soon to hunt. Thank you and best of luck out there!
MrMakoMeCrazy Same to you man, Thanks for the entertainment👍👍👍
Thanks for posting
I also hunt in North Carolina I’ve been fossil hunting in green mill run for the past year and go to aurora once in a while
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!
Best of luck, thank you! The deeper the creek, the more likely you are going to find shark teeth there!
Im trying get out there but we keep getting so much rain in NC I hunt the Tar River but it's been busting at the banks all month.
I know right! Waiting for the river to go down as well.
Have you found anything interesting in the Tar River? I live near it and am curious of trying it out
@@jmz8210 check my videos and IG
@@jmz8210 crap sorry I didn't realize im on my personal account lol check my TH-cam at and IG at UnderWaterPorcupine
Do you take people out on paid excursions? I would be very interested!
I do not actually, sorry.
Great vid thanks
Interesting video ! Greetings from Belgium.
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.
Hi, great info, Thanks! Does one need a permit to hunt teeth in NC?
You do not as far as I am aware of. I've been hunting for years and never needed one in NC. You do need one if you hunt in Florida though!
Any tips for finding dinosaur fossils?
Most dinosaur fossils are found out west - Utah and Arizona I hear are good states to find them. The east coast really doesn't have a lot of dinosaur material. Best of luck!
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.
7:06 he missed a shark tooth blade look near the middle
Driving me mad!
B laying it down!
You know it man!
👍
Megalodon may have been bigger than we thought, bigger and stronger than the modern male sperm whale!
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.
