    This may be fun/interesting to all of you who own fossilized Megalodon teeth:

    Mine were apparently about 4.3 and 7 meters long... big for a great white but just babies for Megalodon standards :cool:

    I am the one interested in marine biology and I don't have a tooth (ignore the frantic sobbing here)

    I suppose I have to look out for a 12 inch tooth now LOL

    Yeah, I remember seeing one the size of a man's hand for upward of $200 in a souvenir shop in Florida.

    Don't pay attention to Adam's opening post then, because he had one from a mega in the 7m range.:p
