Rather, it will be said that a huge tooth of a prehistoric shark surprisingly preserved to this day and even more surprisingly caught on one of the beaches of North Carolina American Avery Fott.
The girl came with her parents to relax in North Topsail is a city famous for its clean, sandy beaches. It was in the sand near the water that the schoolgirl discovered this amazing a find that she could not even identify – what is it? Pulling out something solid and mysterious from the sand during beach games, the girl, however, immediately realized that it was not a stone, but rather some kind of fang, albeit very large for any marine or land animal.

Later, when the unique find was in the hands of scientists, they using modern technology have determined that it is a tooth megalodon, a huge prehistoric shark. But the most interesting was that the mistress of this fang lived more than 3 million years ago! How her tooth hit the beach, real a riddle.

By the way, a documentary tells in detail about megalodons American filmmakers “Meg”, though its creators are too thickened colors, scaring the audience that these terrible predators, quite possibly, the depths of the oceans still plow. Such the statement seems fantastic, however, there is evidence that some inhabitants of the ocean depths easily deal with modern white sharks, say, 5 meters long or more (fishermen found their remains), and the traces of the teeth of this monster are quite correspond to the size and shape of megalodon. And not so long ago Australian fisherman Jason Moys pulled out his bitten head (at 100 kilograms) of a black-nosed shark, which should be no less than 4 meters. Well, what kind of monster easily had a bite to eat little predator? ..
