Where You Can Find Megalodon Teeth in North Carolina!

The North Carolina coast is known for many things but, for divers, it is well known as a hot spot for finding giant prehistoric Megalodon teeth.

"It's really rare," Chris Slog, Marine Biologist and owner of WB Diving, said.

"The teeth have been found all over the world, but not in the concentrations we're finding here." Divers have the most luck at Megalodon Tooth Ledges – 26-40 miles off the coast of Wrightsville Beach.

That's where they can find teeth of these prehistoric sharks, which went extinct about two million years ago.

Teeth measuring more than six inches are valuable, some worth thousands of dollars.
