"Rare Megalodon Shark Tooth Unearthed by Beachcombing Family"
A mother and son found a massive megalodon shark tooth while beachcombing at Cape Lookout National Seashore in North Carolina. The megalodon, an extinct shark species, was estimated to be at least twice the size of a Great White Shark. While rare at Cape Lookout, divers mentioned that Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington is a hot spot for finding megalodon teeth. The megalodon went extinct nearly four million years ago, and its size is determined by tooth size since there are no skeletons.
