Found some fossils one time in a spring that sort of looked like teeth, but have no idea what kind of critter they might have come from. Any idea?
Here's a really good photo:

Nature's way of saying: "Don't touch".
You might kill it, but don't try to negotiate with it.

I know what shark teeth look like. These were more like big molars. Could have been from any number of large mammals, I would imagine.

These are the teeth of the largest predatory shark that ever lived....kindred to the extant great white shark.....genus Megalodon. It was 10 times the size of todays largest great white shark.

I go sharks tooth diving off the beach, trying to find some of those. Have several hundred much smaller ones. Found parts of a whale bone but nothing big.
