Molly told us that she spent years looking for shark teeth on Maryland beaches because of her father’s love of fossils.
She added that she attempted to use a sifting tool to grab the teeth but that it was too large. When she noticed how big the tooth was, she was “amazed.” “I felt ecstatic and startled.
He added that Calvert Cliffs typically yields 100 megalodon teeth per year to amateur fossil hunters. But compared to Molly’s enormous tooth, most of them are much smaller. The largest megalodon teeth ever discovered measured slightly more than 7 inches.Paleontology curator Stephen Godfrey told us that Molly’s discovery was a “once-in-a-lifetime kind of find.”
According to Godfrey, “This will inspire people of all ages, children included, to pursue their natural inclination in nature, art, music, or any of the other possibilities that are currently available to us.”
