Can you imagine leaving your boat and diving back millions of years? Many diving enthusiasts take their adventuresome nature to the next level by fossil hunting in some of the worlds oldest underwater places. Of course the places you dive do not have to be that old considering the nature of erosion, you just have to know where to look for your fossils in order to find them, and of course know what you are looking at.

One of the most popular fossils people look for are sharks teeth. They are easy to identify and you can literally find hundreds of them on the water body floor. Off the coast of North Carolina you can find a rich trove of Megalodon teeth with divers recovering about 70-80 teeth per trip. The teeth were 3-5 inches in length and they even recovered a couple of 6 inch whoopers! Prehistoric Mako and Great White sharks teeth are also found off the South Carolina coast but, you do not have to travel all the way to the Carolina’s however to find your sharks teeth. You can also find them further inland in the Ozark lakes and sometimes along the more historic river beds.Take a look here to learn more: Sea life: Great white sharks
