I have a cool fossil tooth that I was going to take a photo of, but I have lost it in my house somewhere, it is about 40mm or so. I got it in Hawaii back in 1995.

where I went to college in Manhattan Kansas (Kansas State University) we had a flood in 1993 and the tuttle creek spillway dam was opened up and water removed about 100 feet of earth and they found lots of fossil shark teeth and stuff. I am going to go back and see if it was a Megalodon. Kansas use to be the bottom of the ocean back then, so I assume the Megalodon lived where I live today.

I looked up buying a Megalodon tooth, it is about the cost of a nice watch $1,000 - $2,000

looks like where I live was on land, but western Kansas was the ocean...

This is a good one too, I love learning about the history of where I live...
