Massive Tooth of Megalodon — Largest Shark to Ever Live — Discovered on Jersey Shore

. . .A massive tooth from a prehistoric megalodon — the largest shark to ever live, popularized in horror movie lore — was discovered along the Jersey Shore by a vacationing father-son duo from Pennsylvania.

Michael Bowers, 42, said he discovered the fossil from the 3.6 million-year-old beast while visiting Sea Isle City with his son Bo, 11, last Tuesday.

“I always seem like I find crazy stuff in the water,” Bowers told NJ.com. “I never in a million years would have guessed that we would have found something like this. My son was speechless.”

The duo from Monongahela, Pennsylvania, were walking along a jetty when they spotted the tooth in a narrow opening.

Bowers wasn’t able to fit his hand through the crack to pull out the timeworn tooth, but his son Bo was able to grasp it and pull it out with ease.

“It’s on my bucket list of stuff to find,” Bowers told the outlet. “My knees were shaking.” (Read more from “Massive Tooth of Megalodon — Largest Shark to Ever Live — Discovered on Jersey Shore” HERE)
