4 3/4" Megalodon Shark Tooth

I believe this is the largest serrated tooth I have found at the forbidden pond to date. It is uncommon for megs found on land in my area to be serrated because the layer they are found in is reworked. This tooth has it all - a great root, nice serrations, colorful complete enamel, and even some bourlette intact. I can't believe my good fortune with the megs the last few weeks.
