These fossilized teeth are more commonly found at Maryland’s Calvert Cliffs, which hold million-year-old sediments that contain remains of prehistoric animals.
In fact, in 2022, a nine-year-old girl found a 15-million-year-old megalodon tooth in the waters by the Calvert Cliffs. This tooth also reached a whopping five inches in length.
Many scientists believe that the megalodons inhabited nearly every corner of Earth’s prehistoric oceans, as their fossilized teeth have been unearthed on every continent except Antarctica. But, millions of years ago, many of the sharks lived in areas that are now inland. Either way, finding one of these teeth is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime event.
“We had to be in the right place at the right time with perfect timing,” Bowers said to CBS. “Because if it wasn’t low tide, I would have never found it.”
