If you stroll along any Carolina beach you will find a shark tooth. Sharks loose their teeth at an alarming rate and eventually many of them make it to shore.
Jessica Rose-Stander Owens was taking a stroll along the Stono River near Charleston when she saw something sticking out of the sand. She thought, "Ok a sharks tooth, cool" or something along those lines. What she really found was a huge megalodon tooth. When she brushed it off she found it was nearly six inches long and weighs almost a pound. For ONE tooth! The tooth is estimated to be nearly 5 MILLION years old.
