Teenage boy finds tooth from carcharodon megalodon or the megatooth shark

Teenage boy David Wentz was out one day snorkeling at St. Clair River, when what he thought was a strange shaped rock caught his eye. However according to Miami Herald his father said that hours of watching the Discovery Channel he knew right away what it was.

It seems that the young lad managed to find himself the tooth to a Carcharodon megalodon or more commonly known as the megatooth shark. This extinct shark lived some 2 million years ago. Just think the Great White Shark is normally about twenty feet, where the carcharodon megalodon grew to about 60-feet.
