2 13/16" Megalodon Shark Tooth

My first Megalodon from Aurora. Its a little beat up but it counts! I dug in the Yorktown Formation on the spoil pile for over 2 hours before I found it. I pulled out so much bone while I was digging that I thought I was going to find a giant shark's tooth. I'm just glad there was something there this time. I've dug the past three trips in a row and this is the first megalodon I've found.
