[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3067541, member: 10461"]PS- before you get me off the fossil diversion and we return to artifacts, allow me to show you this incredible [I][URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon']C. Megalodon[/URL][/I] tooth a local buddy of mine found. Those are adult hands in the picture. [ATTACH=full]770299[/ATTACH] This is an exceptional example on three fronts. [LIST] [*]It is [I]enormous[/I]. Well over 6 inches slantwise. [*]It is virtually pristine, aside from some minor loss to one corner of the root. [*]It is a [I]pathological[/I], meaning there is healed damage to the tooth on both sides, from when the shark bit down on something too crunchy, like a whale bone. Yes, these giant sharks preyed on whales! [/LIST] These teeth have been found embedded in fossil whale bones, and the presence of fossil whalebone fragments on a site is how I know where to pay close attention. This is what a shark tooth with a four-figure price tag looks like, folks. I've found some Megs myself, but nothing like that.[/QUOTE]
