VISIT MY E-BAY STORE " MATTYS'S MEGS", LOOK FOR :" ABOUT ME" PAGE, GO THERE AND YOU CAN FIND THE LINK TO MY WEBSITE.MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO, DURING THE MIOCENE TIME PERIOD, THE OCEAN WAS RAVAGED BY ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST FUROSCIOUS SHARKS TO HAVE EVER EXSISTED. THE CHARCHAROCLES MEGALODON. WITH ADULT SHARKS REACHING LENGTHS OF CLOSE TO 65 FEET, AND MAXIMUM TOOTH SIZE OF 7 1/16 INCHES, THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST DEADLIEST PREDATOR TO HAVE EVER ROAMED THE OCEANS. FORTUNATELY THESE SHARKS ARE LONG GONE AND BECAME EXCTINCT AROUND THE PLIOCENE EPOCH , ABOUT 2 MILLION YEARS AGO. THE FOSSILIZED REMAINS OF THE MEGALODON CAN BE FOUND WORLD WIDE. IMPORTANT COLLECTOR FACTS. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD BUY SHARKS TEETH, I CAN PERSONALLY SUGGEST THE PURCHASE OF THESE FOSSILS IS NOT ONLY FUN, BUT TO HOLD A TOOTH THAT WAS USED TO DECAPITATE AND RIP APART WHALES AND OTHER MARINE ANIMALS, IS AWESOME!! IF YOU GET A BIG TOOTH, IT IS EVEN MORE AWESOME AS THEN YOU GET TO IMAGINE THE SIZE THE SHARK WOULD HAVE BEEN AND THE FACT THAT THE SHARK HAD ROW UPON ROW OF TEETH THAT WERE RAZOR SHARP . FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND PRICE IT IS VERY SIMPLE. TEETH ARE BROKEN DOWN IN VARIOUS WAYS BY MOST DEALERS AND COLLECTORS. YOU START WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENT FOUND AND THAT IS POUNDAGE MATERIAL. THIS QUALIFIES AS HALVES AND PIECES, UP TO TEETH THAT ARE EVEN TIPPED OR HAVE A ROOT BUSTED AT THE CORNER. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST AFFORDABLE TEETH, AND THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BY DEALERS. SO FOR THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN BY PARTIALS FOR PENNIES, THOSE DAYS WERE OVER AFTER THE SEVENTEES!! A GOOD 5 INCH HALF FOR INSTANCE IS WORTH AROUND $10 TO $15 RETAIL. COMPLETE TEETH ARE GRADED AS COMMERCIAL UP TO A GRADE, MUSEUM QUALITY TEETH. SIZE IS GRADED FROM SMALL TO LARGE AND AFTER THE MAGICAL 6 INCH MARK THE TEETH CAN SKY ROCKET IN VALUE. REPAIRED TEETH HAVE COME ALONG WAY. I AM A REPAIR ARTIST AND CAN ATTEST TO THE VALUE. I AM ALSO A COLLECTOR. BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING, SHOP AROUND. COMPARE. I HAVE ONLY ONE THING TO SAY AND IT IS VERY SIMPLE. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF NEW DIVERS, AND SOME OF THE BIGGER DEALERS AGGRESIVELY BUYING AND GETTING NEW DIVERS INVOLVED, THE DIVE SPOTS ARE GETTING HAMMERED LIKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN MY LIFE!! FOR THOSE WHO INVEST IN TEETH, THIS IS NEWS TO THE EARS AS YOU CAN ONLY FIND SO MUCH, AND YES, THEY WILL RUN OUT AND EVENTUALLY THE FINDS WILL NOT SUPPORT THE DIVERS OUT THERE. MY FINDS ARE MINIMAL COMPARED TO MANY YEARS AGO. I HAVE SEEN OTHER DIVERS AND WHAT THEY ARE FINDING"NOT MUCH", THIS IS REAL, THIS IS NOT A JOKE, AND THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE GOOD STUFF, BUY IT UP, IT IS NOT GOING TO LAST.!!! CAN YOU TRUST E-BAY? I HAVE BEEN GOTTEN A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT THAT IS BECAUSE I DID NOT PAY CLOSE ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE AUCTIONS.ONE SAID, "LIKE AN ANTIQUE" AND I BOUGHT AN ITEM THAT WAS NOT AN ANTIQUE. MY FAULT. BUT THE SELLER WAS AT FAULT FOR LISTING IT IN ANTIQUES. IT WAS A FAKE!! I STILL HAVE IT. IT WAS A EARTHEN WARE JUG. I STILL LIKE IT SO WHAT THE HEY. I HAVE ALSO MADE OUT LIKE A BANDIT. IN GENERAL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE TRYING TO MAKE AN HONEST BUCK WITHOUT THE HASTLE OF A RETAIL LANDLORD. I HAD THREE RETAIL STORES AND MADE MY LANDLORDS WEALTHY!! I LOVE E-BAY AND YES THERE ARE FEES INVOLVED BUT NOTHING LIKE... read more
